One of the best place in aurangabad, tourist destination in aurangabad. Boating is not available but three to four years ago boating was available. Peaceful place , you can see so many birds here.In mughal Era This lake was called as "Khizri Talab" And now named after the famous Personality Mr. Saleem Ali (Bird man of India, akshay kumar's role pakshirajan in Robot 2.0 was inspired by this personality Mr. saleem ali). Here you will find so many birds, and flowers.In Aurangzeb Alamgeer R.H 's time, a large marsh or tank extended the whole length of the northern wall, (extending from present-day Salim Ali Lake till Begumpura / Maqbara) but the exhalation and dampness proved unhealthy and Aurangzeb ordered the portion immediately in front of his palace Viz Qila E Ark to be filled in and converted into fields. This reclaimed portion was later developed into Mughal garden, (now known as Himayat Bagh) by one of the officials of Aurangzeb's court, with many fruit-bearing trees of different varieties for the royal court and its officials. The remainder was known as the Khizri talao which is just beyond the Delhi gate. The other small tank was the Kanval or Loti talao, (near present-day Aam Khas grounds between Kila-e-Ark and Begumpura) was fed by a spring and was confined in the hollow between the palace of Aurangzeb and the Mecca gate, but the band was purposely destroyed to save the city from being flooded.

Salim Ali Lake is the centre of attraction for the bird lovers and nature lovers as here is the glimpse of the foreign birds who come here every year and stay here for some days and go back to their countries but since last some years the number of foreign birds have been decreased because of bad drainage Water Show of the city which is drained in the lake. The hundreds of meters land is always full of water and many fishes in the pond attract more visitors from all around the city. The trees at the boundaries have covered the lake and make it most beautiful.
