Water sports Upper Lake, Bhopal

Loading photo...

A beautiful water body of the 11th century, Upper Lake is the oldest man-made lake in India. Locally called as Bada Talab, it is a massive earthen bund constructed across the Kolans River. Legend says that King Bhoj constructed this gigantic lake, which is believed to have cured his skin disease.

A massive lake with a catchment area of 36.1 sq km, the Upper Lake happens to be the major source of potable water for the people of Bhopal. An attractive royal garden called Kamla Park in the vicinity makes the surroundings more scenic. A favourite spot of the water enthusiasts, this lake is the hub of all water sport activities in Bhopal.

Shipra Bhattacharya it is a shame that in this age of science the pride of bhopal has attained this miserable condition the care takers of bhopal and the public should be ashamed that inspite of the 60 crore lake conservation project and the 247 crore Bhoj Wetland project this is the situation today so where has all the money gone? no accoutability ? or it is only there on paper for fulfilment of formalities.
