A half hour drive from Hyderabad takes you to the popular tourist destination of Osman Sagar Lake. More popularly known as Gandipet, the artificial lake of 46 square kilometers has attracted revelers since the time of Nizam.
Feel the cool breeze against your face as you stand on the embankment and drink a warm cup of tea. Sellers do brisk business selling small snacks. Delightful treats are available in a small cafe.
The embankment is bordered by parks and lawns landscaped on all sides and makes for a great picnic spot. Often picnickers are seen lounging around, on top of brightly colored durries, eating out on large picnic hampering or playing cards.
A princely summer retreat house called Sagar Mahal, overlooking the lake and offering a spectacular view of the lake. This heritage building has become a comfortable resource by the tourism department of Andhra Pradesh. Cozy cabins here for a very enjoyable weekend getaway with family or friends.
The lake and its reservoir are a beautiful sight to behold when the Indian monsoons are in full swing.
