One of the unique and impressive beauties of Jodhpur, Rajasthan, Balsamad Lake offers you a calm, pleasant and relaxing environment. This lake is a famous picnic spot for travellers as well as locals. This lake was built by Balak Rao Pratihar in 1159, to serve water to the city. This lake is 15 meters deep and covers 1 square kilometre of area. Balsamad Lake was rebuilt by Maharaja Jaswant Singh in the 19th century to make it more attractive. This lake has fine carved walls made in the ancient time. These walls reflect the rich heritage of Rajasthan and act as a major attraction.
