Drona Sagar is a protected ancient pond and archaeological heritage site in Kashipur, traditionally linked to Guru Dronacharya of Mahabharata fame. Archaeological excavations led by the Archaeological Survey of India exposed solid brick foundations, ancient bastions, and structural relics from the Gupta and post Gupta eras, identifying this site as the classical settlement of Govishana visited by Chinese traveler Xuanzang in the seventh century.
Locals frequently gather around the clean water tank during morning and dusk hours for quiet walks along paved promenades. Taking a holy dip here on auspicious occasions like Chaitra Mela is considered deeply auspicious by devotees touring Uttarakhand.
Truth is, the open setting offers a calm break from the bustling markets of town. Visiting hours are 6:00 AM to 6:30 PM daily with zero entry tickets, making it a great brief stop for history buffs.
The best window to visit Drona Sagar is from October to March when pleasant sunshine and cool morning breezes make outdoor exploration enjoyable.
