Lake View Point

About Lake View Point

Lake View Point looks out over the Upper Lake of Bhojtal. The view changes as the sun goes down and the water begins reflecting the city lights of Bhopal, with boats sailing across it.

It is as much an eating spot as a viewing one. People come here to try local food varieties, which makes it a straightforward stop if you want to explore local favourites alongside the view of the lake and the city.

At the viewpoint

The lake after sundown

The main reason people come is the view across Bhojtal as the light goes and the lake takes on the reflection of the city lights. Boats still sailing on the water add to the scene.

Local food stalls

The viewpoint is a popular place to pick up local food varieties. The eateries keep their own hours, from 11:00 am to 11:00 pm, which is longer than most sightseeing stops.

Boating

Boating is among the activities available here. Prices for activities such as boating vary, so check on the spot, and note that timings for individual activities differ.

Planning your visit

This is an evening stop. The viewpoint itself is open all the time, but what is actually running varies by hour.

• Arrive before sunset if the view is your reason for coming.
• Plan food between 11:00 am and 11:00 pm, when the eateries are open.
• Carry cash for food and activities, since prices for things like boating vary.
• Ask on arrival about timings for boating and other activities, which are not fixed.

Best time to visit

Late afternoon into the evening. The view works best as the sun goes down and the lake starts reflecting the city lights, and that window also falls inside the eateries' 11:00 am to 11:00 pm hours.
