Sankey Tank
Sankey Tank is an artificial lake located in the Malleswaram neighborhood of western Bengaluru. Travelers visit this site primarily for its wide waterfront path, which is used for walking and jogging, and for the greenery that provides a break from the urban environment.
Getting There
The lake is located west of the city center. Depending on the starting point and traffic conditions, reaching the area by taxi or ride-sharing service typically takes 20 to 40 minutes.
Duration of Visit
Most visitors spend between 1 and 2 hours here, which is sufficient time to walk the perimeter of the lake and sit by the water.
When to Visit
