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.

Best Time to Visit Osudu Lake:

The months between November and February, when the city cools down and the birds come to roost, are the best times to visit this place. Though the facilities are very sparse, the boat ride in the evening is fun- it takes one to a small island teeming with migratory birds and is a wondrous sight to behold.......

"An Indian Coffee House across the road near Osudu Lake serves excellent pakoras in a cute little garden setting, though the service is rather slow owing to the small kitchen and staff. Overall a nice bird- watching excursion in small- town Pondycherry !"
