The Kankaria Lake

My semester exams were finished and holidays were about to start.I had planned to enjoy those holidays with my sister and her son who stay in Ahmedabad.It was great staying in Ahmedabad that too in winter season.Oops!!!!!! the winter there was so cold that I couldn't survive without my jerkins outside the house.The normal temperature in this season is not more than 28C during day time, and goes down till 8C or 9C in night and early morning .Winter season starts from November and lasts for 3-4 months i.e it ends by February last or by march first week.In spite of that season I visited many places in and around the city.

Firstly, we visited The Kankaria lake which is situated in Ahmedabad city of Gujarat state.It is very near from my sister's house,say less than 1 Km.Me and my cousins planned to visit the lake because it was renovated with lots of features and mainly there was a 1 week kankaria carnival festival going on.So we thought of killing time there and also enjoy the lake.We reached the lake by 12'o clock in the afternoon to visit the zoo beside the lake, and later enjoy the lakes beauty as the dusk sets in.The zoo was good and had many visitors because there were new arrivals in the zoo.It took around 4 hrs for us to see all the animals like tiger, lion, parrots, peacock, flamingo, hippopotamus and the list goes on and on.As we came out of zoo, we were very hungry and to fill our appetite we had pani puris or gol gappa (popular snack in Gujarat).After eating we saw the Lake which was decorated with coloured lights, and was clearly visible after the sunset.In and around the lake, the carnival festival was going on.We were having a good time watching the beauty of the lake and also took some snaps.Below is the beautiful sunset that reflects on the lake. Then the lake instructed my mind to capture its beauty which is why I took the below photo.


As it became darker, the colorful lake was amazing.The photo below is exactly the same as above ,but it was taken after light settings and sunset.




Almost the whole day, we killed time by roaming around the lake and taking snaps.Finally a day's trip to kankaria lake came to an end by Columbus ride, aeroplane ride etc.....The snap below was taken while we were sitting in the aeroplane ride :)


In the next post we will go around to visit some other places and explore its beauty :) Until then happy trips...............
