Gujarat has some of the best lakes in India. Kankaria Lake in Ahmedabad is a tourist attraction that is not to be missed on your trip to the city. Let us take a virtual tour of this amazing lake.

Kankaria Lake is an artificial lake that was built in 15th century, which was then used by the Kings to bathe. The lake then had water purifying properties, which was lost with time. The lake was later renovated and inaugurated in 2008, in a week-long Kankaria Carnival.
