Khindsi Lake is Central India’s biggest boating center and amusement park offering services like:

The prices start from Rs 25 and go upto Rs 300. There are few good restaurants offering food and beverages to the visitors. The place is generally full of activities and during the weekend or long holidays it becomes quite crowded also.
Sunset at Khindsi Lake
One of the unique thing that I particularly enjoyed in Khindsi Lake was the sunset. The views of the sunset are stunning. The cool breeze of the evening gives people much needed relaxation from the hustle and bustle of the city life.
The best thing about the Khindsi lake is that it is located not too far away neither too close to the city of Nagpur which makes it a perfect spot to spend an evening. The place is generally calm and full of natural beauty.
