Puttenahalli Lake Birds Conservation Reserve

This 10-hectare wetland is a conservation area located in the northern part of Bengaluru. It serves as a habitat for various species of waterbirds, making it a destination for birdwatching and nature walks in a quiet environment.

Getting There

The reserve is situated approximately 14 kilometers north of central Bangalore. Travelers can reach the site via taxi or ride-sharing services. Depending on the city's traffic conditions, the journey typically takes between 45 minutes to over an hour.

Visit Duration

A visit of 2 to 3 hours is generally sufficient to walk around the lake perimeter and observe the resident birdlife.

When to Visit

Early morning is the most effective time for birdwatching, as wildlife is more active. The best season to visit is during the cooler months when migratory birds are more likely to be present.
