Only 7 km from Nizamabad in Telangana, Ashok Sagar Lake is a secret gem that begs to be discovered. Among the top places to visit in Basara, this eco-friendly tourist spot has a peaceful atmosphere and stunning natural scenery that will fascinate people of all ages.

If you head from Hyderabad toward the famous Saraswathi temple in Basar, you'll come across the beautiful Jankampet Lake. They have now transformed it into the stunning Ashok Sagar. And in this large reservoir it has a very glamorous and attractive rock garden, an octagonal cafe, a swinging bridge, and boating options. One would enjoy spending a day in such peace and beauty.

What makes Ashok Sagar a popular tourist spot?

Ashok Sagar Lake is a mesmerizing weekend getaway boasting of delightful weather and salvaging ambience, with an added advantage of its fifteen-feet idol of Goddess Saraswati standing erect in the lake, casting a spell of mystery at night. Ultimately, this place is Ashok Sagar, where one would love to laze around in nature's lap.

Ashok Sagar has become a beautiful tourist place due to its eco-friendly atmosphere. The rock formations look even better in the evening light. The project will last and work because young people from the town and elected officials are actively involved in the management group. This project will do well because it leads to the well-known Saraswathi Temple at Basar from Hyderabad.
