Sukhna Lake is a tranquil reservoir created in 1958 by damming the Sukhna Choe stream. Set against the backdrop of the Shivalik Hills, it's a popular spot for morning jogs, evening strolls, and boating. The lake attracts numerous migratory birds in winter, making it a haven for birdwatchers. With its calm waters and landscaped promenades, it offers a peaceful escape from the city's bustle. Visitors can rent paddleboats or simply relax by the shore.
Don't miss
- Take a paddleboat or rowboat ride on the calm waters for scenic views of the hills.
- Walk or jog along the 3-km promenade that encircles the lake.
- Spot migratory birds like Siberian ducks and cranes during winter months.
