One of the most appealing aspects of Sankey Tank is its ability to provide a sense of tranquility amid the bustling city.

A Glimpse into History
Sankey Tank was built in 1882 by Colonel Richard Hieram Sankey, the Chief Engineer of the Mysore State. The lake was created to address Bengaluru’s water supply needs and was named after its designer. Over the years, it evolved from a vital water reservoir into a popular public attraction while continuing to play an important role in the city’s ecosystem.
Sankey Tank is definitely worth a visit for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway amidst nature in the heart of Bengaluru.
