Khindsi Lake

Khindsi Lake (the expansive forest fringed reservoir and Central India's largest water sports adventure resort located at the scenic foothills of the Ramtek hills) northeast of Nagpur (celebrated globally across Maharashtra eco tourism, reservoir water sports, and family leisure recreation as the premier water adventure hub operated with MTDC and Rajkamal Resorts), world famous for its high speed motorboats, jet skis, giant banana rides, Kashmiri shikara boat cruises, lakeside camping resorts, and an intensely exhilarating, deeply refreshing lakefront atmosphere), located near Nagpur in Maharashtra, stands as Nagpur's premier water sports destination.

Encircled by lush teak forests and the undulating Satpura foothill ranges, this scenic freshwater lake offers adventure seekers, honeymooners, and families an exhilarating escape into nature.

It's the home of roaring high powered speedboats carving white wakes across azure waters, colorful paddleboats gliding through tranquil coves, giant inflatable water zorbs, shaded lakeside cabanas serving hot tea and snacks, and an intensely peaceful, deeply rejuvenating resort ambiance filled with the sound of splashing waves, calls of resident cormorants and kingfishers, and refreshing cool breezes sweeping over the reservoir.

It represents a rich Maharashtra inland water sports heritage apex, eco resort tourism, and Vidarbha leisure travel where speedboat rides, water skiing, lakeside glamping, and Nagpur weekend circuits unite in Khindsi Lake.
