Karlad Lake
Karlad Lake, nestled in the picturesque landscapes of Wayanad, Kerala, is a serene freshwater lake that offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and adventure. As the second-largest freshwater lake in Kerala, Karlad Lake is a hidden gem that draws visitors with its tranquil ambiance and thrilling activities. Located about 3 kilometers from Banasura Sagar Dam and 8 kilometers from Vythiri, the lake is surrounded by the lush greenery of the Western Ghats, creating a breathtaking backdrop for a wide range of outdoor pursuits.
The lake is believed to have been formed over two centuries ago after a landslide, and today, it is a hub for adventure sports enthusiasts. The star attraction at Karlad Lake is the zipline, which is set up on a 50-meter tower and stretches 250 meters across the lake, offering an exhilarating experience as you glide over the pristine waters. In addition to ziplining, visitors can indulge in kayaking, rock climbing, bamboo rafting, and boating, making it an ideal destination for those seeking an adrenaline rush.
For those who prefer a more relaxed experience, Karlad Lake offers ample opportunities for nature walks, bird watching, and picnicking. The tranquil environment, coupled with the clear waters of the lake, provides a perfect setting for unwinding and soaking in the beauty of nature. The lake's shores are a popular spot for photography, capturing the reflections of the surrounding greenery and the serene atmosphere.
Karlad Lake is not just about adventure; it's also a gateway to exploring the vibrant local culture of Wayanad. Engaging with nearby communities allows visitors to discover the stories, traditions, and crafts that have been preserved for generations.
