Rankala Lake Diaries : Street Food, Heritage & Serene Views

Rankala Lake Diaries - Kolhapur

I , along with my family, went to visit Rankala Lake in Kolhapur. Kolhapur is a very beautiful city, and one of its most charming places in Ranakala Lake. It is also known as Rankala Chowpatty of Kolhapur and is popular tourist attraction.


The lake has a rich historical background, and there is an interesting story about how this large lake came into existence. It is quite vast, and in the evenings, it becomes a favorite spot for strolling and recreation.

Surrounding the lake, you'll find a Chowpatty and a park, and right behind it stands the famous Shalini Palace, one of the prestigious hotels in Maharashtra.

This Chowpatty brings back memories with its variety of tasty street food like bhelpuri, ragda patties, and many other delicious snacks.

The lake so scenic - almost like a location from a movie set - and many people enjoy walking along its banks. The Nandi idol located here is one of the largest and oldest in the region. There's also a dedicated swimming area called Aambai, adding to the lake's uniqueness.
