Kankaria Lake (Ahmedabad)


Kankaria is the biggest lake in the city of Ahmedabad. It was built by sultan Ahmed Shah.

Present Honourable Chief Minister of Gujarat Shri Narendra Modi has begun new development of the area. The road on the periphery of the Lake is being reconstructed as a pedestrian zone, and a toy train named the 'Atal Express' will circle the lake.

The place is enjoyed as a place for YOGA, walking, and running, especially in the very early morning. There are also other attractions like a zoo, Nagina Wadi, Balvatika, an aquarium and gardens. Kankaria Zoo has also reords in breeding of rare species in Zoo which make them to feel that they are attached with nature and not cages. Tourists/visitors will remember this place for years together.

The State Bank of India uses the picture of this lake as their Logo.
You can get real pictures and videos of kankaria lake on kankaria-carnival.blogspot.com especially of kankaria carnival which was a sort of festival organised by A.M.C.

This is really a good ancient place in Ahmedabad. I still remember when I was a little kid and going there for a walk with my parents. Now it is crowded but it happened to be silent place in old days where you can spend your time peacefully.

My feelings with the place Kankria and Naginawadi is that I live within the radious 1 and1/2 km. This is a place where the lovers including the famlies enjoy theri holiday since 4/50 years. Please reserve the place for citizens of Ahmedabad and visitors for enjoyment..
