Damdama Lake

natureadventure
Getting around: About 55-60km south of Gurugram, roughly 1.5 hours by road in the Aravalli hills. Best reached by car or taxi.
Hours: Open daily, roughly 8am to 6pm.

Damdama Lake is a natural lake set in the Aravalli hills, popular with weekend visitors from Gurugram and Delhi for boating, rock climbing, and a general escape from the city into a hillier, greener landscape. It's a lower-key, less commercialized alternative to some of the region's more developed lakes.

Activities are fairly limited compared to a major tourist destination, but it makes for a pleasant half-day outing, particularly if paired with the nearby Sultanpur Bird Sanctuary given the relative proximity.
