The surrounding Kalryan hills and betel nut trees provides a great visual treat to eyes. If you are visiting the Belur shiva temple, then don't miss this spot. It is just five kms away from the shiva temple. It is surely a nice getaway from the city congestion and pollution on a weekend. The best time to visit is between November and January as the reservoir would be almost full and climate will also be pleasant.
