Lake |
| Badkhal
Lake, fringed by hills is a man-made embankment, which
holds back the waters of the lake making it a perfect
spot for water-sports. Next to Badkhal village, its name
probably comes from the Persian word 'bedakhal', which
means 'free from interference'. Formed in a scooped natural
depression in the Aravalli hills, the lake is fed by rainwater
and a small rivulet. On one inlet in the surrounding hill
there are rest huts, which are small, cozy and compact. |
