Jakkur Lake
The community-restored north-side lake with a 4km loop, ducks, and a sewage-treatment plant nobody minds talking about.
why we keep going,
Full periphery is about 4km of paved track. One loop is a workout; two is a commitment.
Jala Poshan, the citizen trust, actually runs the place. The lake gets cleaned because someone here makes it their job.
Open in two windows: 6 to 9am and 4 to 7pm. If you arrive at lunch you'll find a locked gate.
local context
A two-hundred-year-old tank rejuvenated by the BDA from 2018 and now maintained by the community trust Jala Poshan, with a wetland inlet that filters STP outflow into the lake.
