Jalavihar Water Park: A Splash of Fun in Hyderabad

Jalavihar Water Park, inaugurated on May 20, 2007, is a popular destination for locals and tourists alike, offering a wide array of water-based entertainment and spanning 12.5 acres. Situated on Necklace Road, adjacent to Hussain Sagar lake and Sanjeevaiah Park, it's easily accessible from various parts of Hyderabad and Secunderabad. The park features a diverse range of attractions, including thrilling water slides, a wave pool that can accommodate up to 1,000 people, and dedicated kids' zones with mini slides and shallow pools. Visitors can also enjoy rain dances and dry rides, ensuring there's something for everyone. Jalavihar is committed to providing a safe and clean environment, with trained lifeguards stationed at all water attractions and regular water quality checks.

Jalavihar was established through a public-private partnership, with funding from R. J. Rao, a non-resident Indian, and other individuals. Despite initial setbacks due to land encroachment and ownership issues, the project received approval from India's apex court in 2006 and has since become a beloved entertainment hub in Hyderabad.
