Beware of the legend
Siliserh Lake is more than just water; it’s steeped in legends. Locals whisper tales of crocodiles lurking beneath its serene surface. Even today, there are warning signs put up. The dense woodlands surrounding the lake harbour a rich biodiversity, including over 100 species of birds.
Siliserh Lake Palace: A love story
The lake’s namesake, the Siliserh Lake Palace, adds to its allure. Maharaja Vinay Singh built this palace as a tribute to his beloved queen, Shila Devi, a princess of Bharatpur. The palace, once a royal hunting lodge, now stands as a heritage hotel. Its architecture reflects the grandeur of bygone eras, and the views from its balconies are nothing short of enchanting.
