Ayyanakere Lake

Is this the place where Aphrodite was born? Else, is this the place where Venus lives? Such a romantic place, a heavenly site in the Karnataka state of India! Ayyanakere Lake - the second largest lake of Karnataka is the most beautiful and lovely site.

You swim, fish, laze around, romance, walk around, read, sing, dance, write or simply sit and watch - whatever your activity, you would feel romantic if you perform the same on the banks of this giant-sized lake.

Love, beauty, majestic, extraordinary, excellent and so on - if you think about adjectives for this incredibly superb place, you will be at a loss. Words cannot describe the beauty of this place. You need to experience it by visiting the site on your own. The happiness will double up if you visit this place during the monsoon season.

This beautiful lake is located in the equally beautiful Chikmagalur region. What makes this site so romantic? The conical-shaped peak at the backdrop, the sunrise or the sunset, the ocean-sized waterbody, giant shaped trees on the banks or the clouds that kiss the hills.

This lake is a historic site. It was created by a Chieftain of Sakrepatna, Rukmangada Raya, by name. In the 12th century CE, the lake was renovated by the Hoysalas. The lake is a blessing for the region's farmers as it maintains the fertility of thousands of acres of land.

A pleasant and picturesque place, which no tourist should miss.

Happy travelling.
