I couldnt quite believe my eyes when I reached this beautiful lake. My friends and I were cycling around Powai and explored this beautiful lake. The lake is all the more appealing owing to it being present right in the middle of the concrete jungle!! Its the perfect getaway with the most soothing view 😁

Every Sunday I go this place lot of things you can do here .there are more than 200 crocodile 🐊 here .but till now no crocodile harm any human who are swimming in Lake .This lake was made by British before India independence , because of shortage of water 💦 supply in mumbai .Here entrances is illegal but many people come no one can stop you to go there there is no watch men nothing . Only notice that you are not allowed.Many people come in Sunday for swimming , fishing, trekking etc....Many people die here Because they dont know how to swim that was a reason ,But major people die in drunk ,any kind of nasha .Be careful if youre going ,Like it 👍👍

This is very beautiful place. The lake is situated in the jungle area near powai. Scenery and greenery is very beautiful place. This is the amazing place in Mumbai. As the part of jungle the water is very good. No waste here and there, just clean calm and beauty everywhere. Lovely environment. How to reach there is question? and the partial area of the lake is prohibited for the visit but one can go from Nitie side... So please go through the way is allowed.

I am a regular at here & went there with my wife eldest son & daughter in law last Thursday evening 16th August. As we have become to expect the food was amazing as usual. The staff are really friendly & efficient with out being over attentive. We wouldnt consider going to any other Indian restaurant whilst Jamal the owner is there.

Vihar Lake is located near Vihar village on the Mithi River within the precincts of the Borivali National Park, also called the Sanjay Gandhi National Park, in North Mumbai. When built in 1860 (construction started in 1856), it was considered as the largest lake in Mumbai in the Salsette group of islands. It is hemmed between the Tulsi Lake and the Powai Lake(shown in map). It partly meets the drinking water needs of the South Mumbai region.[1] It supplies only 3% of the Mumbai citys water requirement, after filtration at Bhandup where the large water filtration plant is located.The lake is located 32 km to the north of Mumbai by road.[5] The nearest suburban electric train station is Borivli East on the Western Railways and is close to western express highway, with a further travel of 6 km from the station by road to the lake.[6] The nearest Sahar International Airport is at a distance of about 20 km.[7] As the lake is located inside the Sanjay Gandhi National Park, entry permits are to be obtained from the park authorities for visit to the lake.

I and my friend Mithun visited this place in 2014 during our M.Sc days. For your information, IIT Bombay residence was not allowed to come from the shortcut path which we followed. Vihar lake has very fresh water. Please be careful if you do not know swimming- an IITian has lost his life here.

Considered to be the largest lake of Mumbai, Vihar Lake was constructed in 1860 on the Salsette group of islands. This lake, situated in between Tulsi Lake and Powai Lake, meets up to 3% of the citys southern regions water requirements. The water of the lake is filtered at Bhandup in a large filtration plant to meet the drinking water needs of the people. This quiet stretch of water extends up to 27 miles from the center of Mumbai. The lake gets its water from rainwater collected in the catchment area of Powai-Kanheri Hill Ranges. Vihar Lake is situated within the premises of Sanjay Gandhi National Park and is known to be one of the prime sources of water for the city.

The popular Juhu beach of Mumbai is one of the most famous tourist spot, encompassed by the majestic Arabian Sea in the Western part and is home to many renowned Bollywood celebrities. The semi circle natural bay along the coast, Marine Drive can be considered as one of the favorite hotspot amongst all the tourists who visit Vihar Lake. Best known for the architectural embellishments, Flora fountain is a beautiful blend of crystal clear water, intricate carvings and its formation of Goddess Flora of the Roman mythology.

The lake gets its water from rainwater collected in the catchment area of Powai-Kanheri Hill Ranges. Vihar Lake is situated within the premises of Sanjay Gandhi National Park and is known to be one of the prime sources of water for the city. This area is secluded and infested with crocodiles, which are often found basking in the sun. In order to gather more information about this picturesque lake, scroll further.Interesting FactsAll the three lakes in Mumbai were formed as a result of Mumbai Governments initiative to store and control rainwater flowing from the Mithi river catchment.  Among this, Vihar reservoir was the biggest and the first ever piped water supplying medium for the people of Mumbai.The lake provides water for the southern region of Mumbai and the overflow rate of the water is approximately 80.42m.Entry to the Vihar Lake is restricted to the public since 1995 as construction works for a plant are in progress. However, those who are interested to visit the place have to seek prior permission from the park authorities.If the climate offers a clear view of surroundings then the lake offers its visitors boundless scenic beauty and scope for great photographic stills. The scenic backdrop of the lake has attracted many tourists all over the world.The visitors are enthralled by the presence of several migratory and native birds, serene surroundings, lush vegetation and beautiful view of the hills that impress the nature lovers.The sunset point seen from the Vihar Lake is the most enchanting scene which should not be missed.  Fresh water crocodiles, known as Marsh crocodiles, are found in this lake in large numbers. A crocodile park, with caged crocodiles of various sizes and species, has also been setup in the lake area. Along the eastern border of the lake, there are pipelines of water coming from a water treatment plant situated on the northern banks.IIT Bombay is located on the southern part of the lake.This region is also considered to be a constant film shooting location for Bollywood movies and many scenes of prominent movies have been shot with Vihar Lake in the background.  Being located in the center of the city, Vihar Lake can be accessed easily through Andheri-Santacruz stretch or via Goregoan.Vihar Lake, which was constructed in 1860, serves as a major tourist spot in Mumbai. Try visiting this serene lake whenever you visit Mumbai.
