About this place
History & highlights
Created in the late 1950s by damming a seasonal choe, Sukhna Lake was part of Le Corbusier’s original master plan as a place of “peace and silence” away from traffic. Over time it became the city’s main recreation zone, hosting events, regattas and morning–evening walkers. Siltation problems led to desilting and catchment treatment projects, but it remains one of the strongest symbols of the “City Beautiful.”
