  Samhhar is a 190-sq-km lake which lays some 60 km west of Jaipur. Jaipur is about 560 km southwest of New Delhi. Within a year, Sambhar is sweet or salty. Every year from October to the following May, it contains a high level of salt, and yet between June and September it gets saltless, and becomes a lake sweet enough to drink from. In the four rainy months, rain water from several rivers feeds the lake in large amounts, causing flood, Because of the rain, the salt is watered down and the water grows sweet. When the rainy season is gone, the lake gets salt back.

  Sambhar quite literally means salt and it's India's largest salt lake. Salt has been extracted from the area for over a thousand years. This vast body of salt is on average just 0.6 cm deep and never more than 3m even just after the rainy season. The lake has been divided into two sections by a 5-km-long stone dam The eastern section contains the reservoirs for salt extraction, canals and saltpans. Water from the western section is pumped to the other side when it reaches a degree of salt considered proper for extraction.

  What really draws one to Sambhar is the lure of flamingos and many other species. The birds are attracted here in thousands by the delicious algae. Birds, perhaps 20,000 to 30,000 strong, can be seen flying and singing over the glassy water and dark mud.
