Keetam Lake (Sur Sarovar)


Location: between Agra and Delhi, about 20 km from Agra, east of the road (signposted).

Costs: there’s a small entrance fee

Date(s): 20-11-2002.

Notes: Since Sur Sarovar is known to be a good place when other places are dry we couldn’t resist to visit this reservoir on our quest for water while driving back to Delhi, heading north to Ramnagar. Well, water there was, but most of the lake was invisible due to excessive growth of water hyacinth and the open parts were strikingly empty. No more than a few groups of the most common ducks made us decide to continue our trip to the north directly.

Highlights: none.

Pics:

If you follow the path alongside Sur Sarovar almost to the end, you.ll find this bird tower. pretty ragged and shaky, but it gives you a good view over the lake.
