| Within easy
reach of Bombay by car are several picturesque lakes.
Powai Lake, 25 miles from Bombay, is a quiet stretch of
water by the side of a motor road. It can be approached
via King's Circle, Sion, and Kurla. or through Santa Cruz
and Andheri. Vihar Lake, a mile away from Powai lake, is
less secluded, as it is one of the sources of Bombay's
water supply. The lake, incidentally, is infested with
crocodiles, which often bask in the sun. |
