| Ulsoor Lake | |
 | Close to M.G.Road, this lake is one of the main attractions of holiday goers. With a radius of about 3 km, this lake is ideal for rowing around in a boat or you could just sprawl on the green grass that surrounds the lake to enjoy its cool breeze. You could also sit and relax on the small islands that are on the lake. The serene water can just be felt. |
