After a stomach-filled breakfast of great Maharastrian cuisine, I packed my bags to visit a place you cannot miss if you are in Mumbai, the Powai Lake. The hotel staff explained to me that the lake is amongst one of the most gorgeous places and among the six lakes in Mumbai. The Powai Lake is an artificial lake located in the northern suburbs of Mumbai city supplying water to various industries. For me, I longed to see some sort of water bodies in my visit, I fell in love with this lake. The blue water shining in golden sun rays was something I couldn’t resist and forced me to take snaps of this wonderful exhibition of natural beauty.
After a great experience at the Flora Fountain, Mumbai I decided to call it for a day and return to my hotel. I had a great day behind and hopefully a much more fun-filled day ahead. After a quick shower and a hearty meal, I opted to listen to my favorite songs on my iPod and went through the pictures captured. May be self praising, but I felt my photography skills have improved drastically. At that moment of pride I bid adieu, good night to myself with my next destination in mind, the Powai Lake, Mumbai.

The blue water shining in golden sun rays was something I couldn’t resist and forced me to take snaps of this wonderful exhibition of natural beauty. My local guide told me that the lake was artificially made by the British more than a century back, which is in 1891 to be precise. All of my friends were mesmerized to see the hills surrounding the lake and the crowd explained why it was a hot destination to relax and break free from the busy chores of life. There is a lush-green garden developed around the walls of the lake and offers a boat ride, which is highly recommended. Apart from beauty, the lake offers great animal life such as crocodiles, ducks, blue and white kingfisher, sunbirds, stork, and many more. The lake is constantly monitored and reviewed by many state-owned departments who make every tourist experience tranquil. The Powai Lake, Mumbai not only offers the above mentioned attractions, but also makes this place a heaven with immaculate surroundings.
