Narsapur Lake

It is one place despite being very near to hyderabad and has all the things a rider wants to see. Decent roads, hills, tribals, a lake and forest.

Its about 40 KM from ameerpet. The lake is beautiful in rainy season, but interesting in summer.

The first time I went to the lake was in summer. The lake has shrunken to 10% of its area. I was able to drive in the dried area. The dry area is covered with some kind of silver colored hard shells, like stars in the sky. White colored cranes are opening the shells and eating the creatures in side. I am no biologist, so I cant tell what those shells are. But they are hard to break and the flesh inside is smelly.

One could drive up on the dam, which ends abruptly. But the farm lands beside it are mystical. I have observed some girls coming down to the dam from the lee side of the hill attached to it. So me and my bike ecplored the way and went down to the farms. There is road through them towards the bigger hills near by lake.

That road will lead to a tiny village of not more than 10 huts. Seems cattle grazing is the lucrative career there. But, amazed to see that almost every hut is equipped with DTH. Yes, india is shining.
After crossing that village, I came across another village, which is better than the previous village. There is a short cut from this village to the main road. Sorry, I dont recall the names of the villages,  but the second one belongs to lambadi tribe.

When I went to the lake second time in rainy season, it took me sometime to find a proper route to the lake through the village.
