Shamirpet Lake, Secunderabad Overview

Located in the heart of Secunderabad, Shamirpet Lake is one of the major attractions for tourists visiting the twin city of Hyderabad and Secunderabad. This artificial lake built during the reign of the Nizam of Hyderabad has been a bird watching the spot for tourists, especially during winters when flamingos and pelicans flock to reside on the trees around the lake. This has often been the perfect spot for tourists who rather want to have a peaceful evening instead of visiting the local crowd sightseeing spots. Since this lake serves as a bird watching the spot, it is best for tourists to visit the place from November to February as it is considered the best time to spot a variety of migratory birds. Starting from hornbill, pelicans, flamingos, herons to kingfishers, this lake remains dotted with innumerable birds throughout the year, especially during winters.
