Go in a leisurely time, boating and the peacock park is most enjoyable. There is an open area called food court and you can get outside food to eat there. Ample parking space and a well maintained kids play area.

Really peaceful and nice place to visit In mysuru . When i entered it looked the same as other park is mysuru . Until i saw that big bird cage near 6 to 8 peacock 🦚 and some other birds also . It was the first time i saw a peacock so close to me ❤❤. And it has a long path for a walk it also has a watch tower . And u can also find lot of couples 🤦‍♂️. If u are single like me then i wouldnt recommend u to go to this park . If u want to see peacock then visit and come.

Such a clean and well maintain nature park. It’s perfect to visit in the morning and afternoon when the sun isn’t too harsh.There’s a lot of tree cover and there are various zones such as aviary section, nursery, bitterly park, and boating. The boating section will allow you to either rent a pedal boat or a row boat and you can boat around parts of Karanji Lake. If you’re a budding ornithologist, then there’s a view point from where you can spot the birds breeding/nesting in the lake.The nature park is connected to Mysore Zoo as well, so once you’re done walking around the park, you can head here.

Lake was okay during the time we went. Though it was monsoon season, it was not full. It was full of grass.However, there are kids play area, which has good options for kids. There are birds caged for display, which has birds like parrots, and others.Main highlight for me was the Aviary park inside it. In a small park, it has around 30 peafowl, with almost equal distribution of peacocks and peahens. There will always be a sense of competition among peacocks to attract the females. Hence there will be atleast one peacock dancing at any time, some times 2 or 3 were dancing. It was a really good sight. There are white peacocks too in the park

Karanji lake is very beautiful Nature park located within the city of Mysore. Its a different world within itself. Entire lake is surrounded by lush green trees, grass, garden and bamboo trees. Wherever you see, you will notice lush greenery. Benches to sit are made at every regular distance. Drinking water Points are made. Washroom facility available.Cleanliness is what I really admired. Very clean and under maintenance. Watchmen standing all over the places to help and instruc tourists. Parking facilities available for both 2 wheelers and four wheelers. Boating is also available but due to certain reasons it is stopped as of now. Timings are from morning 8:30am till 6:00pm. Very great place to spend time in solitude or even with family and friends.

Karanji Lake is one of the promising tourist place of attraction. Spanning in an area of about 90 acres, lake is noted for being home to a wide variety of indigenous and migratory birds. It consists of a boating point, childrens corner, watchtower and Indias largest walk-through aviary inhabited by a wide variety of birds, including peacock and geese, pheasants, swan,dove the aviary is the main highlight of Karanji Lake. A leisure walk around the lake promises to give you a few peaceful moments amidst the beautiful natural setting. Apart from these, this lake does offer to keep visitors entertained. For kids, there is a special childrens corner to have fun. The boating provides you a great experience. Further at the watch tower you can watch a complete natural setting of the lake from above. The park authorities point to keep the greenery well maintained. Cleanliness is a great priority in this park. The entire park is declared as a plastic free zone. There is also medicinal plant garden. End of the park is butterfly garden..This spot can be visited with family or friends, although the park is most favorite spot for most couples. Its better to visit during rainy seasons as increased water level of lake and greenaries around provides you a great ambience. Its a most loved place for kids.

A good place to spend the evening with family and friends.The place has a boating area, a small bird park parallel to the kids park to the little ones engaged and a peacock aviary.People are allowed to walk into the aviary by themselves. Mind you, it gets quite loud in there. A good evening to spend amongst these elegant creatures.The lake watch tower is a good spot for selfie lovers.

The only good thing about this lake is that inside the park, there is a open residence for birds especially peacocks. You can see them from such short range. Other than that nothing special inside. So much mosquitos. The boating is pathetic as the way to go down to the boat is slanting and broken. So if you are not careful then you can twist your ankle. The lake water also not clean...

Karanji lake is not only for visitors who want to relax in the midst of nature but an ideal place for birdwatchers too. With around 147 species of birds, this area presents amazing opportunities to get a glimpse of birds such as Sandpipers, Asian open bill storks, herons, egrets, greenish warbler, rose ringed parakeet, brown shrike, red-whiskered bulbul, red wattled lapwing, booted warbler, black drongo and sunbird. painted stork, ibis, egret, cormorant, grey pelican, etc are some of the common migratory birds that can be spotted here.

Popular place among locals in Mysore for jogging not so for tourists. Well maintained and clean park surrounding the lake. Boating available. It also has a play area for children and a butterfly enclosure. Even though butterfly watching is season dependent but there few species of birds to be seen.If you are outsider visiting Mysore this place will be letdown. The lake is an eyesore.
