Evolving into a hub for water tourism, it presents a picturesque setting of lush greenery surrounding a natural lake, teeming with rare bird species that captivate both local and visiting enthusiasts. Initially serving as a water source for wildlife, the lake underwent conservation efforts and emerged as a thriving tourism destination.
