Lake Fateh Sagar ....more than just "another Lake"

Udaipur is known to be a city of Lakes and it certainly is. It means it is a much more open city and it certainly is very beautiful.  Lake Pichola tends to be the one that gets all the mentions - and it is the one that is in the middle of the old city.... however Fateh Sagar also gets my vote as a special place.

For my time in Udaipur I have been only 5 minutes away from this lake - and whenever I walked into the old city, it was past this one first. As well as some interesting (but obscure) environmental art...

It also is fantastic for the wealth of birdlife - much of which was completely new to me... red wattled lapwing...


These were very common... I must have seen them every day...  Black winged stilt....


with totally ridiculously long legs...also seen very commonly.  The lake also had its own amazing buildings in the middle..... quite a location...


And you can never have too many sunset shots....

and this one - a favourite because it shows Filadelfia campus - which gave me a home for my time in Udaipur...

So if ever you are in Udaipur - spare a thought for Fateh Sagar.
