Lakes in Warangal

Lakhnavaram Lake

Lakhnavaram Lake is famous for holding 13 islands which are covered with dense forests, in its midst. Covering an area of around 10,000 acres, this lake basically stores rain water. In recent times, the local department of tourism has established a hanging bridge, which connects three of the islands. As decided by the government, various development works have been planned to make this lake a more prominent tourist destination.

Pakhal Lake

It is believed that the lake was constructed by the Kakatiya ruler, Ganapati Deva, in the 13th century. This lake is surrounded by hilly terrain and a dense forest; and is spread over an area of around 30 sq km. The Pakhal Wildlife Sanctuary, situated around the lake, is another popular attraction.
