Guda Lake


Most tours include a stop at a viewing platform overlooking the small (and full only after a good monsoon) Guda Lake. Migratory birds, such as demoiselle cranes, and mammals such as blackbucks and chinkaras, can be seen. The best time to visit is in the evening when birds and animals come to drink.
