Kaylana Lake, located about 8 km to the west of Jodhpur in Rajasthan, India, is an idyllic spot shrouded with diverse flora and a haven for birdwatchers. Surrounded by igneous rock land formations and the extensive greenery of Babul trees, the Kaylana Forest also encompasses the lake's periphery, making it a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. The man-made lake, built by Pratap Singh in 1872, spreads over an area of 84 square kilometers and serves as a primary resource for drinking water to the city and nearby villages. The forest around the lake is a little-known treasure trove of wildlife and is a great spot for picnics, boating, and evening strolls. It also provides a spectacular viewpoint for sunsets. The scenic beauty of the location has made it popular among locals and tourists alike. The area serves as a natural habitat for wild species, thus maintaining the ecological balance. The area adjoining the Kaylana Lake has vast expanses of natural vegetation, home to a myriad of bird species, adding to the charm of the site.
