A quick refresher at Dundiganahalli Lake/Dam

The plan was something else but destiny swayed us to the Dundiganahalli dam. Our last visit was during wet weather and we couldn't much enjoy in water. This time kids enjoyed well in water and the shore was safer as well. With exams due, we allowed kids only surface play with promise of soaking whole body after exams :-)


Apart from the recreation, the nature beauty hosts wide avian creatures. Our visit was at 3:30PM and hence most of the avian species were in their home. Not much interesting bird captures this time except for the omnipresent white browed wagtail. The juvenile was seen pestering parent for food by making repetitive noise :-) or was the parent teaching kid to find its food?





The tree stood tall alone amidst the barren field and yet shining! The terraced backdrop is reserve forest and entry is prohibited


The path through the idyllic rustic village is mesmerizing as well. Just before dandiganahalli lake, a large water body greets us. I am sure plenty of migrant birds would visit this area. Being outset of summer, most of them would have vacated OR I am not sure if I was on wrong time. I saw only herons and egrets.



Looks like a goose farm also nearby.


The authorities permit certain villagers to fish in this lake. The Woman was disentangling the net hoping for better output!



The dundiganahalli dam has three routes. I prefer the route via Jakkalamadagu for obvious reasons. It has that charisma to attract nature lovers and why not unlimited avian enjoyment.

Here is a instagram reel for you!

  7. I admire your lonely tree posted this week. Sad when they are cut down. I still look for that lonely tree in farmland we pass to go to town shopping for groceries. I too wish the woman was able to catch enough for dinner. Sounds of your children enjoying the time in the water was my favorite. You found a nice place to bring your family to see birds, enjoy nature, and making memories. Enjoy!
