Pocharam Lake

For a trekker, adventurist or camper this is the place which would in no means disappoint you.  One can trek the extensive fringe of the lake or the Pocharam forest; one can spend lot of time swimming or fishing at the lake; or otherwise one can just merrily slug out on an abandoned building near the lake. Many people refer to this building as Nizam’s guest house. One a nearby hill there is one more building which is referred as Nizam’s hunting lodge. For moving in the Pocharam forest one should take prior permission. Given the risks involved in swimming one should take enough precaution while swimming in this lake. A life jacket would be most preferable. Pocharam dam is constructed on Manjira river gets its water from the surrounding catchment and the Manjira dam.










Birders can sight many water birds on the trek circuit which circumvents the lake.  This man made wet land is also a house to migrant flamingoes.
