Bhopal, the capital of the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. In one side, there’s the Muslim-dominated Old City, a mesmerizing district of stunning mosques and vibrant markets. On the other side of Bhopal, the beauty of the Old City is countered by a bleak, sobering landscape: here you’ll find the infamous Union Carbide chemical plant, site of one of the world’s worst industrial tragedies, the BHOPAL DISASTER. Heading South you’ll find a more modernized and hopeful dimension of Bhopal, with wide roads, shopping complexes, and upmarket hotels and restaurants nestled comfortably in the Arera and Shamla Hills, which overlook the lakes and the Old City beyond
Upper Lake is the oldest man made lake in India, said to have been built by the Parmara Raja Bhoj during his tenure as King of Malwa (1005–1055). It’s fabled that the waters of this lake cured the skin disease of the ailing king. Today, the Upper Lake serves as the major source of potable water for the residents of Bhopal. This lake also is a hub for fun water sports and other lakeside activities in Bhopal, such as sailing, paddle boating, and exhilarating motor boat rides. The beauty of this lake is only enhanced by the charms of the nearby Kamla Park.
