Lotus Pond

Hidden deep within Banjara Hills lies the simple idyllic beauty of the Lotus Pond. The Pond was initially conceived as an Eco-conservation project. The natural elements of the rock structures and the pond have been conserved and the landscaping has been aesthetically weaved around it to fashion it into a breathtakingly beautiful oasis in a concrete desert.

The self sustaining ecosystem plays host to a variety of species of birds. The shimmering Pond is filled with fish. Dip your hand into the cool waters and you can almost catch a slippery fish.

The environs of the pond are a walker’s delight. The undulating and sometimes uneven track makes for a grueling work-out for early morning joggers. Quaint little thatched huts with wooden benches have been strategically placed for the Tired and the Weary. The Pond and its natural environs are a veritable treat for photography enthusiasts. Shutter-bugs will have a field day here shooting away at birds of different feathers that flock here.
