A trip to Osudu/Ousteri Lake Pondicherry/Pudhucherry, South India
We went here in the evening and it was cloudy, so the lighting isn't up to the mark.
Opening Time : 09:00:00
Closing Time : 17:00:00
The century old man-made Ousteri Lake - also referred to as Osudu Lake - is situated about 10 kms from Puducherry town and has been recognized as one of the important wetlands of Asia by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) and it is the most important freshwater lake in the Pondicherry region. The structure of the lake is complex - consisting of water, wetland/marsh and mudflats; it acts as the single largest catchment of fresh water in Puducherry.
The 390 hectares lake (part of it lies in Tamil Nadu) supports a variety of fauna and flora. The vegetation ranges from small herbs to trees, which supports migratory avifauna as well as native birds during summer and winter.
Ousteri Lake will be developed on the lines of Vedanthangal water bird sanctuary near Chennai. More than forty migratory birds reside throughout the year at the Ousteri Lake. According to the Tourism Department, different species of golden oriole, open-bill stork, tailor bird, painted stork, white ibis, white-breasted water-hen and spotted owlets visit the water-body particularly after November every year.
The forest department has decided to document the varieties of birds visiting Pondicherry to update and prepare a comprehensive database about the winger visitors. Under the government's renovation plan the region near the lake will be make litter-free so that it becomes favourable of the migratory birds.
The lake region will be declared as no-horn and plastic free zone. They will take care of the maintenance of the newly declared bird sanctuary. Sign boards with complete details of birds and eight feet by six feet multicolour paintings of birds will be set up at different places of the sanctuary. The department will also plant more tress near the water body. Apart from these, a three-floor interpretation centre with library and audiovisual room and a small park will also be established. The centre will enable visitors to attain complete information about the birds visiting the water body.
Two telescopes are also proposed to be set up at the top of the centre to watch the birds. The government has planned to develop the region as a complete eco-tourism tourist destination. The tourism department has proposed to ban motor boating and fishing in the lake. Instead, pedal boating is introduced for visitor's leisure. The best time to visit here is from October to March.
PTDC operates a small boat club at the lake. The 20-seater boats offer a 30min ride that allows visitors to enjoy the cool breeze and visual treats. If lucky, one could spot birds rarely seen in the region.
The government of Pondicherry is proposing to set up an Ousteri National Park in the region acquiring land from neighbouring villages.

Pondicherry Sightseeing Full Movie
Pondichery is famous for Arobindo ashram and Auroville matrimandir. However, there are many other interesting places to see. This video shows the complete sightseeing of Pondicherry and around. Some of the interesting places include the main sea beach (Pomenado beach), Dupleix statue, French buildings, French War memorial, Ambedkar mandapam, Le Cafe, Mahatma Gandhi statue, Neheru statue and the beautiful views of the sea beach, he old light house (near Secretariate), the new light house (south to Pondy towards Birampatnam), beautiful statues and view points near the main Pondy beach (Pomenado beach). The video also shows Bharati park, Manakula Vinayaka temple and Panchavatee Anjaneya temple.
Manakula Binayaka Temple is one of the most popular temples in Pondicherry located near Arobindo ashram. The other beautiful temples we visited are Kalathisvaran temple, Bedha puruseswar or Iswaran temple, Vardaraj Perumal temple. We hired a scooter and visited Panchavati Anjaneya temple which is about 10 kms from pondichery on Dindivanam road. Panchavati Anjaneya is a huge 36 ft granite idol.
Auroville is a universal township about 10 kms from Pondicherry. People of many different countries settle in auroville. The most important attraction of auroville is the matrimandir which is located at the center of it. The matrimandir is a globe shaped large structure for doing meditation inside.
This video shows the views of six beautiful beaches of Pondichery. (i) Pondichery Main beach or Pomenado beach, (ii) serenity beach (iii) Repo beach or Aurovil beach, (iv) sandy beach, (v) Birampatnam beach, (vi) Paradise beach. In my consideration Pondichery main beach is the most beautiful beach followed by Paradise beach. Other beaches are also good having their own features. For example, serenity beach is full of colorful fishing boats, repo beach is suitable for swimming (swimming jackets are available on hire) etc.
The botanical garden near bus stand is another attraction in Pondichery. It is more than double the size of Bharati park. There is a toy train for children running through the garden (Rs 10/- ticket). A statue of two big bulls look very attractive at the center of the garden. There are many medicinal plants and many rare plants in the garden. You can see the rest in the video.
This video shows three beautiful churches of Pondicherry. One is Sacred heart church near Pondicherry railway station. This is a very beautiful church and located at a very prominent location. The second church is Immaculate Conception cathedral on the mission street (or cathedral street) in Pondichery. The third church is the Lady of Health church in Ariyakuppam about 6 kms from Pondichery on Cuddalore road.
Paradise beach is a small island in the Bay of Bengal. One has to go about 5 kms in boat from Chunambar to reach Paradise beach. The width of the paradise beach is about 100 meters in some places. The length is just about more than a kilometer. We went to the Chunnambar boat club by a scooter from Pondicherry. Read more details of my experience in my blogs.
Arikamedu archeological site is about 8 kms from Pondicherry. One has to come upto Ariyakuppam on Cuddalore road and then take a left turn to go to the place. You can find the ruined parts of some very old buildings It is a few acres of land maintained by the archeological survey of India.
Birampatnam is about 10 kms south to Pondicherry. One has to come southward from Pondichery on Cuddalore road and take a left turn at Ariyakuppam to reach the beach. There are three interesting points to see in Birampatnam, one is the church in Ariyakuppam (shown in a separate video) where you take a turn for the beach, second is the amma temple near the beach (visible at the beginning of this video) and third is the beach. The video shows the beach in detail.
Ousteri Lake or Ossudu lake about 20 kms from pondichery. We went from pondicherry to Ousteri lake by a scooter. This is a huge lake with boating facility. However many of the boats are not in working condition. If you have more time in Pondichery it is not a bad idea to visit this place atleast for an hour. The place is less crowded as it is far from the city.
Tiruvakkarai is about 40 kms from Pondichery. One has to go through Oustery lake on the way. So we first visited Oustery lake and then went 20 kms further including 6 kms very poor road to find the Fossil Park. However after reaching the place I realized that the effort was worth for such a place. There are several hundred tree fossils which are estimated to be 20 million years old.

#SAVEWATER #SAVELAKE #WATER #interestingfactsaboutousteri #pondicherrylake
Ousteri Lake is located towards north at a distance of 10 km from Pondicherry town (Pondicherry– Villupuram road). The wetland covers an area of about 390 ha (lies in both Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry) with a wide range of aquatic species and is mainly a bird sanctuary. The vegetation ranges from small herbs to trees, which supports migratory avifauna as well as native birds during summer and winter.
But now this lake is in real danger. Hope this video brings some light on the minds of people that water is the true elixir of life that we need to save. Special thanks to SURESH for his lines at the end. We felt really sad when we took the visual where we found nothing but sand.
