An artificial lake, once a source of drinking water has become heavily silted and degraded by pollution. Efforts are underway to rectify these issues. This lake remains to be a bird watcher's spot due to the variety of birds found in the area.
The walk up to the Vetal Baba Mandir (temple) provides good views of the city but trees and the radio transmitter building obstruct the best views. The trail goes through scrub and forest maintained by local nature volunteers. There is a car park on Gokhalenagar Rd but if you start lower down from Kanchan Galli you will also pass the small temple Hanuman Mandir. There is also a chance of seeing wild Peacocks in the area.
