Start your journey early from your hotel or home in Bilaspur. Enjoy breakfast at a popular local restaurant or tea stall near Link Road or Vyapar Vihar. Try local favourites like poha-jalebi, samosa, or idli-dosa with tea.

Reach Bilasa Tal (also called Kanan Pendari Lake) located near Kanan Pendari Zoo. Enjoy the serene view of the lake surrounded by lush greenery. Enjoy boating (pedal or row boats available). Take a morning walk or click photographs around the lake. Relax in the landscaped gardens and enjoy the peaceful environment.

Explore Kanan Pendari Zoological Garden. Spot animals like tigers, leopards, deer, and several bird species. Then, have lunch at a nearby restaurant or dhaba. Recommended options: Ranjana Restaurant (Link Road), Arya Bhavan (for South Indian), or local thali outlets.

Take a short drive from Bilasa Tal to Smriti Van / Energy Park, ideal for a quick walk amidst nature and educational exhibits on renewable energy. Explore nearby attractions like Deorani–Jethani Temple (Talagaon) – historical site (if time allows) or Bilaspur City Mall for some local shopping or relaxation.

Relax by the lakeside. Enjoy tea or snacks at local stalls. Capture sunset photos over the lake. Finally, head back to your hotel or residence.
