Pashan Lake and Vetal Tekdi

Pashan Lake is an artificial lake near the suburb of Pashan, about 12 km from the city center of Pune, India. The lake was built in the British era to accommodate the water requirement of the neighborhood.

This place is near to Vetal Tekdi (Highest Hill Point of Pune City, India), approx 15-20 min drive. Both Pashan Lake and Vetal Tekdi is popular among bird watchers and photographers.

Pune Municipal Corporation has done eco-restoration of Pashan Lake under JNNURM projects of government of India.
There’s also request from PMC that while visitors enjoy bird watching and photography, they should read the sign boards about birds, their habitats and inform back if they come across something new at birdsofpashan

Below is the board of Environment Cell, PMC (Pune Municipal Corporation).

Below is the few glimpses of Pashan Lake and Vetal Tekdi.

Hi @Niputiwari ,

I just wanted to say that your photos look great. The first picture is actually my favorite one, but the one with the caption “On the way To Vetal Tekdi Hill” is pretty fascinating. Did you play a lot with some filters to make this greenish effect? It has a very interesting vibe that for sure.

@KlaudiyaG Glad that you liked the photos specially the first one.

In another photo I played a little with greenish effect in bottom/lower portion. I am very bad in post processing but was happy with this work. :slight_smile:

This place is also surrounded by several small birds but couldn’t click them due to my lense limitation.

Once again thanks for your time and feedback. Much appreciated.

I enjoyed your post and love the beautiful and colorful photos @Niputiwari .
