Bulbule Taal (Lake)

Bulbule is a very beautiful and impressive public park in Surkhet. It has a very wide and clean area for picnic and walking. This Garden is located in Latikoili VDC in Surkhet. Very close to Surkhet Bus Park and opposite to Birendra Multiple campus.

Park is full of various types of roses, imported flowers and attractive green grasses. A nominal fee for entrance is charged to general public.  Well trimmed and straight standing trees on both side of main entrance look very impressive. A small pond welcomes the visitor which is full of fishes. This pond is source of natural water spring which comes in the form of bubbles. On the left side of pond two huge public bathing places are there which are always busy. One of them is for gents and another for ladies where people always wash clothes and takes bath.

The main attraction is its small lake of underground water. It is also the main water resource for paddy production in that area. This lake is full of fish and is also natural habitat for other water creatures and birds.  At the front of that lake there is the main part of Bulbule Garden. This open area full of flowers and ornamental plants makes atmosphere more pleasurable.

Bulbule Garden has also inspired many poets and singer to write poems and songs based on this garden. “Surhet bulbule taal, maya mai syanee huna le chutyo maya jaal”  is a very popular song which made Surkhet more popular among other districts of country.  When people see at Siddha Paila and Ladhe standing at Bulbule’s open area, it’s amazing and incomparable. That heart touching scene is mesmerizing and every visitor wonders, amazes and feel lost in the beauty of the scene.

Bulbule Garden is probably the single public garden in Surkhet and its entry is chargeable, this place also lacks all basic facilities and is getting polluted day by day. As it is famous picnic spot and people come here to enjoy on weekends with their friends and family, basic facility must be available here. Not any resource for drinking water, toilets, security and other needs are available at present. A proper lighting system in evening, a good security (just fencing is not enough) and other public convenience is the most demanding requirements at present.

Secondly people washing clothes and bathing looks untidy and odd when walking with family and in group. It is a public park and people come here to enjoy and share some time with family. Such scene create pollution in this beautiful area.  This activity must be banned if we want to gift a clean and green Bulbule Garden to our generation.
