How to reach Swaroop Sagar Lake
There are two routes for reaching Swaroop Sagar Lake:
- From the old city by walking from the Pichola Lake towards the Swaroop Sagar Lake, it is the best way to locate the lake as the Lake premises start from the Lake Pichola’s end. This route may turn out to be congested and if you’re travelling through a 4 wheeler, we suggest you not to take this route.
- From the main city’s Chetak Circle towards the road taken to reach Fateh Sagar Lake, you’ll find Swaroop Sagar Lake on the same road before Fateh Sagar Lake, this route has well-constructed roads and can be chosen in case you’re travelling from a car or bus.
