This is one of the best places to visit in Itanagar for tourists. Lake is surrounded by the beautiful green hills and greenery all around. Geykar Sinyik means confined water. There is an entry ticket of Rs 50 for adults. Lake opens at 10 am and closes at 4 pm. We have to climb around 60-70 steps to reach the lake view point from the entry point. Boating facilities are also available in this lake.
This beautiful lake located just near the city of Itanagar. The view is mesmerising. Untouched by any human invasion. The path that leads to the other side of the lake where you can ho boating is so serene. But the only problem is the road that leads to this place, it's just horrible. At first we were thinking about turning our wheel back but gathered our courage and faced the odds and it was all worth it.
Geker Sinying or popularly called as Ganga Lake is a huge natural lake about 10km away from Itanagar town. There is a walkway around the lake & also boating can be done. However since it was mid day it was too hot to do any boating. Itanagar is a very hot town. This is one of the few tourist places in Itanagar but it is sad to see that the place was not properly maintained or developed further. What was even more sad were the terrible roads leading to it which were half a knee deep in mud. This place has a lot of scope to be the main attraction of Itanagar if only the roads were repaired & maintained.
Nice place to visit with family and friends. Loved to visit this place. The way to reach is nice however I will not recommend to visit if u r having heart or lungs issues. Not feasible to reach this place for physically handicapped/divyangjan people.
