Pakhal Lake

Pakhal Lake is an artificial lake, built in a small tributary of the Krishna River, close to Warangal. It is believed that the lake was constructed by the Kakatiya ruler, Ganapati Deva, in the 13th century. This lake is surrounded by hilly terrain and a dense forest; and is spread over an area of around 30 sq km. The Pakhal Wildlife Sanctuary, situated around the lake, is another popular attraction. This sanctuary is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna.
