Located 27 km. from Hyderabad, Shamirpet lake is popular for its artificial lake which was dug almost 50 years ago by a Jagirdar of that area.

It is a combination of a water reserve and a deer park where several species of deer can be seen in their natural habitat. It is a man made lake and has a complex with 12 cottages (tariff A/C D/ Room Rs.300/- on weekdays and Rs.350/- on holidays, non-A/C/D /Room Rs.225/- on weekdays and Rs.250/- on holidays) and restaurant. Its peaceful environs make it a great picnic spot, the shady groves keep the area cool and pleasant.

On weekends and holidays, Shamirpet provides a contrasting scene with large gatherings of families. The otherwise peaceful Shamirpet echoes with voices of boisterous youngsters and kids having their own fun time.

Located 24 km to the north of Secunderabad, Shamirpet has a beautiful lake and a deer park. Its peaceful environs make it a great picnic spot. AP Tourism offers comfortable cottage facilities for accommodation, while the forest
