Siliserh Lake is a peaceful reservoir 13 km southwest of Alwar, surrounded by the wooded Aravalli hills and best visited at dusk when the sky reflects on the water. The lake was created as a water source for Alwar city and is now a popular picnic spot.
The Siliserh Palace, built in 1845 as a royal hunting lodge, sits at the lake's edge and has been converted into a heritage hotel run by Rajasthan Tourism. Even if you're not staying, the restaurant terrace overlooking the water is pleasant for a meal or a drink. Boating on the lake is available for visitors.
