Damdama

Damdama Lake is a natural freshwater lake in the Aravalli Range of Haryana, India. It lies near the village of Damdama in the Gurgaon district, about 24 kilometers southeast of Gurugram (Gurgaon) and around 60 kilometers from Delhi. It is the largest natural lake in Haryana and forms part of the Sohna–Damdama eco-tourism circuit. The lake is fed by monsoon rains and drainage from the surrounding hills, and the landscape around it comprises rocky outcrops, scrub forest, and agricultural land.

The lake and its surroundings are a popular weekend destination for boating, camping, and trekking. Visitors can rent boats to explore the lake; nearby hillocks provide opportunities for rock climbing and rappelling. Several resorts and campsites operate in the area, offering day trips and overnight stays.

Due to increasing tourism and urban development, the lake has faced environmental pressures, including siltation and pollution. Efforts by the Haryana government and local agencies aim to maintain water quality, protect the surrounding habitat, and regulate tourist activity.
