If you’ve stayed in Calcutta or Jamshedpur, visiting Dimna Lake for a picnic would have been very common.  It’s a very popular weekend trip both among the tourists and local people. The lake is situated 13 km from the steel city of Jamshedpur and is located at the foot of Dalma Hills.
It’s an artificial water reservoir constructed by Tata Steel to fulfill the water requirement for its plant and the city. Tourists, including school and college groups, and families throng the place throughout the year, especially during November to February when the climate is pleasant to cold. You can see groups gathered on mats on the sprawling lawns or under shady trees having breakfast/lunch, playing badminton, or indoor games or some even painting or sketching. It is simply amazing to view the vast blue water of the lake with the reflection of the beautiful surrounding on it.

The lake also provides boating facilities for the tourists and some other forms of water sports like jet skiing and rowing which makes it an ideal venue for day trips. Dalma Wildlife Sanctuary is nearby.
