Gandipet lake on a rainy day

July 7, 2018
Our wish of seeing Gandipet lake this year came true. It was around 3 PM, not many people around and the best part was rain. We were hesitant to get out then we said we cant miss this chance of getting wet in rain.. not fully though. We stepped into the rain with one umbrella. Slight wind was pushing the rainwater on to us.. it was nice to feel the cool water on our hands. We found a low wall, stepped on it and stood there few minutes taking in this sight.

It was nice to see the lake filled up, never realized it had rained so much this season.

This road runs on the dam. Vehicular traffic is banned here, people could walk around without a care.

Vehicles were allowed on this road before authorities banned it about 2 years ago.

On the other side of the dam.. hills and valleys. The pipeline runs towards Hyderbad city. The terrain down there is interesting.

One of the interesting spots in the valley is a standing rock. At the base of the rock is an ancient Hindu shrine.

The lake shore close to Gandipet village.

This road runs on the lake bund, nice place for a morning or evening walk.

Wishing more more and more rains this season. Wishing for farmers' prosperity.
