Geography & terrain

Siliserh Lake lies in the Alwar district of Rajasthan, 15 km from Alwar and 180 km from Delhi — the palace lake of the region, its 1845-era palace, the boating and the watchtower set on the Aravalli hills' edge.

History & culture

The lake's story runs with the 1845 palace era — the palace lake of the 1845-era palace and the 19th-century-era embankment of the Alwar court, with the lake's modern role as the weekend stop of the Alwar circuit and the home of the 1845-era palace and the boating decks and the 1980s-era hotel; the lake's history of the 2000s-era walks and the bird corners, gives Siliserh its palace character.
