Located on the outskirts of Delhi, just off the Ballabhgarh-Sohna Highway, lies a serene natural water body known as Panikot Lake. The lake is surrounded by the majestic hills of the Aravalli Range and remains untouched by human hands. It has earned the moniker of "Mini Ladakh," owing to its clear water and rocky, barren terrain. The place has become famous for its pristine clear water, abundant bird life, and peaceful and elegant surroundings.

The nearest village, Alampur, is a 45-minute hike away from the lake, but it can also be reached from the Gurgaon-Faridabad Road near Manger village.
