Pashan Lake
Introduction
This charming water body, located off the road that leads to the National
Defence Academy, is a popular spot for Pune-ites who arrive to unwind during the
cool evenings or after a hectic week of work. Offering a stunning view of the
sunset, it is a favorite spot for nature lovers and bird-watchers alike. During
post-monsoon and summers, it serves as the natural habitat for a variety of bird
species, while during winters several migratory birds flock to this area.
However, due to continuous dumping of chemical products in the lake and
siltation, not only has the 50ft deep lake now become shallower by 30 ft, but
more and more of these feathered visitors are also turning their backs to what
was once their regular resting place. Keeping this scenario in mind, plans are
afoot to transform the area into a bird sanctuary.
A bird lover's paradise.
