Fateh Sagar

TIME : 2016/2/17 13:06:37

One kilometre north of Lake Pichola, this lake – which also dries up if the monsoon has been poor – is ringed by hills and is a popular local hang-out. Overlooked by a number of hills, it was originally constructed in 1678 by Maharana Jai Singh but reconstructed by Maharana Fateh Singh in 1888 after heavy rains destroyed the dam. A pleasant drive winds along the east bank, where you can take boat or camel rides. In the middle of the lake is Nehru Park , a garden island. An autorickshaw from the old city costs ₹35 one way.
