Naini Lake

Ever thought you’d stumble upon a peaceful lake right in the middle of Delhi’s chaos? Naini Lake in Model Town (Block A2, Phase 1) is a little-known treasure where the hustle of the city fades away, and the peaceful waters create a serene atmosphere.

Situated in North Delhi, this quaint little lake isn’t just a spot for boating; it’s a pocket of peace, a slice of serenity for morning walkers, lovebirds, and tired souls just looking for a breather. Whether you’re gliding across the water in a paddle boat or sipping chai by the edge, Naini Lake reminds you that even in a city that never slows down, you can still find places that make you pause.

A Quiet Survivor in a City That Never Sleeps

Owned by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) and maintained with care by the Delhi government’s Tourism Department, Naini Lake hasn’t been forgotten. In fact, it’s been at the centre of ongoing conservation efforts—cleanup drives, beautification projects, and plans to rejuvenate the lake using treated water.

But it doesn’t stop there; exciting new experiences are on the horizon. Picture shikara rides, Venetian-style gondolas, quaint cafes by the water, and even a laser show—all part of the transformation aimed at giving this serene lake a dash of magic.

Locals know it as more than just a boating destination. It’s where mornings begin with joggers, evenings melt into slow paddleboat rides, and children feed ducks in between.

Whether you’re chasing stories of the gods, craving crisp mountain air, or simply seeking peace by the water, Naini Lake promises something rare: a moment that lingers. From sunrise reflections to boating in the evenings, every visit feels like stepping into a postcard. And once you’ve been, trust us, you’ll carry a piece of Naini Lake with you long after you leave.
