Hebbal Lake is located in north Bangalore. It is on your left while one dives to Bangalore International Airport. It occupies around 150 acres and has beautiful garden on one side of the lake. It is created by building bunds to hold the water of natural valley system.
The habitat is favored by many species of water birds including large waterbirds such as the Spot-billed Pelican, Eurasian Spoonbill, Shoveller, Pintail, Garganey, Little Grebe, Coot and Spot-billed Duck.
In the morning time the park by the lake side is buzzing with lot of activity: jogging, exercise, birding. Fishing can also be done if adequate permissions or contracts are there.
The park has lot of variety of flowery trees and plants. The park looks colorful with these flowers.
This lake was established by Kempe Gowda, the founder of the city.

I have been to Hebbal lake, it is indeed beautiful!!!!
in fact, as part of my masters study, we did a project on the natural resources of bangalore...and had visited all the places on the outskirts of the city..we simply loved the rural areas of bangalore!!!
Hebbal Lake sounds very intriguing, Rajesh, especially with all those birds. Thanks for telling us about it.
