The famous Ulsoor Lake is centrally located
sprawling over an area of 1.5 sq. kms. Originally known as "Halsur"
or "Alsur", the lake then extended over an area of 125 acres.
Constructed by Kempe Gowda II, this pretty picnic spot is on the
northeastern fringe of the city centre.
Dotted with picturesque tiny island, it is just the spot to take a break
from busy sight seeing and shopping. It is a major tourist attraction with
a boat club where you can hire out cruises with stops at some of the tiny
islands that dot the lake.
You can enjoy a boat-ride, which includes stops at some of the tiny

Attached to the lake is a park with a lot of shade and greenery, which is
frequented by children and many other people. Timings Boating is open on
