Dhebar Lake
Jaisamand Lake, Udaipur Overview
Jaisamand Lake is the second-largest artificial lake in India after Govind Ballabh Pant Sagar, built by Maharana Jai Singh in the late 17th century. The Jaisamand Wildlife Sanctuary surrounds it, home to panthers, deer, and a range of migratory birds, while the summer palaces of the Udaipur queens sit along its shores. It's a fuller day trip, so plan accordingly if you're adding it to a Udaipur itinerary.
The lake was constructed by Maharaja Jai Singh in the 17th century, to be more precise in 1685, while he was building a dam across the Gomti river. The 'Ocean of Victory', as its name suggests, was inaugurated on June 2, 1691. It has three islands which are inhabited by the tribe of Bhil Minas. The two bigger islands are called Baba ka Magra and the small island is known as Piari. To its north, the lake has a palace with a courtyard and a pavilion of 12 pillars to its south. There is also a massive bund at the height of over 1200ft on the lake. The Jaisamand lake is clean, beautiful and a nature lover's real paradise. Away from the turmoil of the city, this place of utmost peace is a must visit.
