Tilyar Lake

Tilyar Lake in Rohtak (celebrated across Haryana and Delhi NCR as one of the largest and most celebrated multi facility eco tourism lake complexes in the National Capital Region, sprawling across 132 lush green acres along NH 9, world famous for its tranquil 20 acre freshwater lake, pedal and motor boating, sprawling landscaped lawns, the adjacent Rohtak Mini Zoo, and modern Haryana Tourism resort amenities), located on Delhi Road in Rohtak in Haryana, stands as Rohtak's premier outdoor recreational haven.

Developed and maintained by the Haryana Tourism Corporation, this vast green oasis is an essential ecological wetland along the semi arid plains of Haryana, providing a protective sanctuary for resident aquatic life and hundreds of migratory waterfowl that arrive during the winter months.

It's the home of the expansive 20 acre freshwater boating lake offering self pedal boats, rowboats, and luxury motor cruises around central wooded islands, the paved 2.5 km walking and cycling promenade bordering the water's edge, the neighboring Rohtak Mini Zoo (housing leopards, blackbucks, sambar deer, gharials, Himalayan black bears, and exotic pheasants), the lively children's amusement zone equipped with toy trains, mini Ferris wheels, and landscaped adventure playgrounds, the iconic Tilyar Tourist Complex offering lake view motel rooms, multi cuisine family restaurants, and open air food kiosks serving authentic Haryanvi snacks, and a refreshing, peaceful natural atmosphere where cool water breezes provide instant relief from city hustle.

It represents a rich 45 year-old state eco tourism milestone, wetland bird conservation, and family weekend leisure tourism where 132 acre green complexes, freshwater boating, mini zoo safaris, and highway retreats unite in Tilyar Lake Rohtak.

Located directly along the 6 lane Delhi Rohtak Highway (NH 9), it sits just 4 km east of Rohtak city center, 42 km west of Delhi border (Tikri), 70 km from Connaught Place (New Delhi), and 75 km from Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL), easily accessible by metro feeder road or direct car drive with expansive dedicated vehicle parking.

20 Acre Boating Lake & Migratory Bird Sanctuary

The centerpiece 20 acre artificial lake features shaded tree islands where painted storks, cormorants, and spot billed ducks roost undisturbed.

Visitors can hire 2 seater and 4 seater pedal boats to cruise along the gentle ripples while enjoying panoramic views of the forested banks.

Truth is, renting a pedal boat in the late afternoon as golden sunlight glints across the water while water birds swoop overhead is pure relaxation.
