Ulsoor Lake: A Serene Landmark in the Heart of Bengaluru Just 5 km from ShangriLa Bengaluru, Ulsoor Lake also known as Halasuru Lake offers a peaceful escape amid the city’s energy. Originally built in the 16th century by Kempe Gowda II and later redesigned under British commissioner Bowring, the lake spans 50 hectares with charming islands and a lush 3 km shoreline Early mornings and golden evenings bring out herons, kingfishers and migratory birds, making it a local favourite for birdwatching. You’ll often see paddle boats gliding across the water or anglers casting quietly from the banks. Ulsoor Lake has seen a quiet revival since the early 2000s, thanks to the Madras Engineer Group (MEG) and civic efforts clearing water hyacinths, adding silt traps, and reviving aquatic life. Just a short walk away is Sri Guru Singh Sabha, Bengaluru’s largest Gurudwara, known for its peaceful setting and daily langar. Also nearby are the historic Someshwara Temple and Ramakrishna Math, making a visit to the lake a blend of nature, culture and calm.
