Pakhal Wildlife Sanctuary

Pakhal Lake and Wildlife Sanctuary are some of the ideal weekend getaways for those who reside in Warangal. The lake was constructed in the year 1131 AD by Ganapathi Deva. This lake was constructed by tapping a small part of the tributary of River Krishna. In the later years, a sanctuary was built around the area.

It is very beautiful to watch the sight of deer, panthers, tigers, and leopards roaming around freely in the area. The lush green locales set against the backdrop of a bluish lake provide an enhancement to the view. People of all age groups would love to visit this park.

The beautiful Pakhal Lake is spread over an area of 30 sq km. Set amidst the lush green forests and hills, the human-made lake forms a highly picturesque location. The lake also borders a wildlife sanctuary located at its shore. The chirping of birds mingled with the rejuvenating breeze and tranquillity makes it a favorite spot for picnics and nature enthusiasts.

A man-made lake built during the Kakatiya Dynasty by King Ganapati Deva in 1213 AD, it was made to serve farmland activities. The creation of ancient times, even today, is seen performing its duty of providing water for irrigation. Approximately 3 Lakh acres of land are surviving over its waters.

Located next to the Pakhal Wildlife Sanctuary, established in the year 1952 by the makers of this lake, the Pakhal Lake also provides natural heaven to the wild animals amongst the range of low hills and a plateau with a safe ambiance. This is the reason; one even spots a wide range of species of flora and fauna near the lake.
