If you’re only stopping by for a quick break, the pavilion kiosk is the fastest way to grab fresh coconut water and a handful of local snacks. It’s right beside the benches, so you can refuel and then hop on the 1 km trail around the lake for a shaded walk under the banyan canopy. This spot is especially nice if you head there in the early afternoon when the light is warm but not too harsh. If you’re staying nearby, the Hotel Midland Yard is only a short walk from the entrance. TravelIndiaDeals may earn a commission if you book through this link.
