Walking around the Lotus Pond at MLA Colony, Hyderabad
Lotus pond is a small pond located in MLA colony not too far from Road no 12 Banjara hills and pretty close to KBR National Park. As the name tells it all, there are lots of lotuses in the pond, but what you may not expect is a well maintained periphery with a walkway that goes up and down with the natural terrain. There are natural rocks peeping out of the water and the walls of the pond. There are parts around the pond where you can momentarily have the feeling of being in the jungle unless you look up and see the backside of buildings surrounding the pond.
There are small bridges that help you cross across the water and benches at strategic points for you to sit and enjoy the wonderful view of this nature island in the midst of absolute concrete. There is a Gazebo as well situated at a height where you can sit and be at peace, of course for that you have to go there all by yourself.
The pond is surrounded by lush green flora and is home to many species of birds. We could spot some colorful birds.
See how delicately they balance them on the lotus leaves and can even walk on them as if they are walking on the ground.
After walking on the water some rope balancing…
Mushroom growing out of the tree trunk…now that is not a very usual site
Look out mushrooms coming out here and there.
This is mini lotus, less than a cm in size and you can see thousands of them in this pond.
Unless you are going there on a Sunday , look for the Idliwala outside the walls of the pond, and you may be having some of the best Idlis served in the city .
We did this walk with Great Hyderabad Adventure Club . Thank you guys for this wonderful experience.
