Karna
Lake, located on National Highway No. 1, came into existence in 1972.
Covering 17 acres and built imaginatively on a marshy and shallow land,
the lake complex fascinates with its greens. The tourist attractions have
grown with time.
The lake derives its name from the town of Karnal, a place that
celebrates Karna, one of the heroes of the epic Mahabharata. Though there
are hints of antiquity in and around the town, no concrete evidence about
its ancient traditions can be seen here. The town came to be known only
for its British military base, which later shifted to Ambala.
The structures around the shimmering emerald coloured lake provide some
of the most delightful luxuries for tourists. Designer decorated
guestrooms look out on the lake, with each room facing landscaped
surroundings. The tall eucalyptus shut off the din of the highway. Karna
Lake also has twin luxury cottages, which are quiet and restful. The
interiors are designer decorated and a world apart in themselves.
A well-equipped conference hall is an integral part of the complex,
replete with steno cabin and allied facilities.
Facilities: Motel with piped-in channel music, deluxe family huts,
Whistling Teal Restaurant, bar, ice-cream parlour, lounge-cum-conference
room, new conference hall, boating, angling, a gift shop, snack shop and
spacious lawn for picnickers.
