Hussain sagar Lake

Hussain sagar Lake

The beautiful Hussain Sagar Lake is worth a visit. The 24 kilometers long artificial lake was built on a tributary of the Musi River in 1952 to meet the water requirements of the city. The Tank bund connects the Cantonment of Secunderabad with Nizami Hyderabad. The lake has a smorgasbord of tourist attractions for all age groups and interests. Beautiful Landscaped gardens and parks for nature lovers, theme parks for children, movie theatres, temples and government buildings pepper the periphery of the lake. The vast lake front makes an idyllic setting for early morning joggers and fitness freaks. Take a stroll through the famous Lumbini Park and catch their spectacular laser show. Feel the surf sting your face as you take a boat ride round the majestic monolith of Gautam Buddha that seems to rise out of the centre of the sprawling lake. The more adventurous will love the sailing and boat clubs at the lake. Become a child again as you battle the wave pools and water slides at the brand new water park at JalaVihar. The Necklace Road which was initially envisioned as another conduit between the twin cities is today a major recreation hub. From concerts and exhibitions, to movies and boat rides, fine dining and boutique hotels, to road side tea stalls, ice cream carts and food courts, the lake and its environs has something special to offer for practically every kind of budget and recreational fancy. Prasads Multiplex is a popular hang out and the giant world class IMAX screen is a must see if you have never lived the IMAX experience! As the summer evening unfolds, the air rings with the happy laughter of youngsters and families fleeing to the cool waterfront to escape the summer heat. The lake by night is a breathtaking sight with thousands of twinkling lights that adorn it like a diamond necklace. The dozens of food stalls and vendors do brisk business selling delicious eatables and many flavoured ice creams. Serene Nature Parks that demand silence, exciting theme parks for the young at heart, Pony rides, bungee jumping, rock climbing the vast expanse of the waterfront has it all.
