Kunduvada Lake
Kunduvada Lake (also known as Kunduvada Kere) is an integral part of the city’s identity, acting as both a major source of drinking water and a premier recreational spot. Spread over 253 acres, this massive freshwater lake is located right on the edge of the city, making it easily accessible for a quick getaway. The lake has been beautifully developed with a paved walking track that encircles a significant portion of its perimeter, attracting fitness enthusiasts every morning and evening. The proximity of the newly constructed Glass House (a botanical garden modeled after the one in Lalbagh, Bengaluru) has further increased its popularity. The lake is surrounded by lush greenery, and the cool breeze coming off the water makes it a favorite spot for families to unwind. For bird lovers, the lake provides a habitat for various local species, especially after the monsoon. The vastness of the water body creates a sense of being far away from the urban noise, even though the highway is just a stone's throw away. It is often cited as the best place in the city to witness a clear, unobstructed sunset, where the sky turns into a canvas of vibrant colors reflecting on the steady waters.:
