    If you only have a few hours, a quick paddle early in the morning gives you fresh air and a chance to spot some kingfishers. Afterward, the 1 km trail around the lake is shaded by banyan trees and offers good backdrops for photos. You can bring a blanket to the lawn just outside the pavilion for a quick picnic, or grab a coconut water from the kiosk there. The light is usually warm in the late afternoon, so that can be a nice time for sunset shots. If you’re staying nearby, Hotel Midland Yard is just a short walk from the entrance.
