Dorekere

-




We don’t always have to travel far outside the city to witness a beautiful sunrise, sunset, or enjoy some peaceful time in nature. Sometimes, if we just look around, we can find wonderful places very close to us.

In Namma Bengaluru, there are many such hidden spots. One such peaceful place is Dorekere Lake, located near Uttarahalli. It is a quiet and scenic lake where people often come for walking, bird watching, and enjoying the calm surroundings.

A Bit of History 📜

The name “Dorekere” comes from the Kannada words “Dore” (King) and “Kere” (Lake), meaning “The King’s Lake.” Many lakes around Bengaluru were built centuries ago by local rulers to store rainwater and support farming in nearby villages.

These lakes played an important role in the traditional water management system of the region. Even today, places like Dorekere remind us of Bengaluru’s rich history of lakes and natural water bodies.

I regularly visit this place for my morning walk or evening walk with my mom because it offers a peaceful environment and fresh air. The calm water of the lake, birds flying around, and the greenery nearby make the walk very refreshing.

This time, for a change, I carried my camera along with me. My plan was to try capturing some birds around the lake, and luckily I managed to click a few nice pictures. Watching the birds and enjoying the quiet atmosphere made the visit even more enjoyable. 🐦📸










It’s always a great feeling to spend some time in such a simple and beautiful place.

Dorekere is a simple yet beautiful place where you can slow down and enjoy nature. Whether it’s a peaceful walk, bird watching, or just spending a quiet moment near the water, this lake offers a refreshing break from city life.

Sometimes, the best experiences are not far away. Places like Dorekere remind us that nature and peace can be found right within our own city if we take the time to explore. 🌳✨

There are lot of historical places around Namma Bengaluru, one such place is Bheema Bakasura betta which is around 70 Kms from Bengaluru. This hill is located in a small village called Kaiwara, Chikkaballapura district. This place is more famous for many other temples say Kaiwara Tatayya temple, Amaranarayana Swamy Temple & Bhemmalingeshwara Temple.   History of Kaiwara betta: Kaiwara also has various stories attached to Ramayana & Mahabharata. Mythology has it that Bhima killed Bakasura during the exile period of the Pandavas when they stayed at Kaiwara. From past one year I have covered most of the hills around Chintamani and this was pending in the list. One weekend we started this trek early morning (just to avoid the heat). From Chitamani this hill is around 12 Kms and takes approximately 20 mins to reach.   There is plenty of parking place near Amaranarayana Swamy Temple, one should park their vehicles near this temple. A  small walk in the narrow road oppos...

Kabbalu betta trekking is one of the options for the hikers around bengaluru and located near Kanakapura talluku. Its   around 80Kms from Bengaluru. We have couple of options to reach Kabbalu:  Bangalore > Ramnagar > Chenpatna > Kabbalu (82 KMs) Bangalore > Kanakapura > Satanuru >Kabbalu (87 Kms) I had been to this place many times before but could not get a change to trek this hill, it is one of the best places for those who wish to start trekking.  Since it’s a last minute plan, could not invite anyone for this trekking. But the special thing about this trekking is my brother Kiran joined me for this trekking. It was the first trekking with my brother.  Just to escape from the weekend traffic and the heat we started early morning around 6.00AM from Bengaluru and took Kanakapura Road to reach our destination. Even though it’s a single road the drive was awesome, last night rain added more beauty to the surrounding environment. ...

Mawsawdong Falls

We kicked off our day in Cherrapunji with excitement, ready to explore some amazing spots nearby. Our first stop was Mawsmai Caves , one of the popular attractions in the area. The cave isn’t too long, but it’s packed with interesting spots and unique formations. This little adventure set the tone for the rest of our day. To get to Mawsawdong Falls, we drove a short distance from our earlier stops. The path to the falls took us through small villages, scenic hills, and patches of thick green forest, giving us a glimpse of the peaceful countryside. Once we arrived, we followed a short, easy trail that led us down to the waterfall. The water flowed gracefully over the rocks, creating a beautiful cascade. Unlike some of the bigger waterfalls in the area, Mawsawdong has a calm and peaceful vibe. The falls flow into a clear, natural pool below, with rocks and trees surrounding the area. It’s a perfect spot to relax and soak in the beauty of nature. As we explored Mawsawdong Falls, we came a...
