What people say, in short
Rabindra Sarobar, also called Dhakuria Lake, is an open green space that commenters recommend for morning walks, relaxing and photography, with a hanging bridge, rowing, birdlife including a spotted owlet, and colourful flowers among the draws. One commenter calls it a hidden gem of Kolkata, another found it well kept, and one more says it is hard to believe such a lake exists in the city. It sits about two minutes from the Rabindra Sarovar metro station, and a couple of commenters favour mornings, with one of them avoiding evenings there. One commenter also cautions against visiting parks very early or after dark if you are alone.
