'''Tilyar Lake''' is one of the major tourist attractions in the [[India]]n state of [[Haryana]]. It is 70 kilometers from [[New Delhi]] on the [[Delhi]] – [[Fazilka]] highway and is located close to the city of [[Rohtak]] in [[Haryana]].<ref name=til>Page 149, ''India: A Travel Guide'', By B.R. Kishore, published 2001, Diamond Pocket Books (P) Limited, {{ISBN|81-284-0067-3}}</ref><br />
<br />
The ''Tilyar Lake'' is only 42&nbsp;km from [[Delhi]] border and [[Rohtak Zoo|Tilyar Zoo at Rohtak]] is well maintained (entry fee: INR10 - adults, INR5 - kids)<ref name=til1>[http://www.indiamapped.com/zoo-in-india/tilyar-zoo/ India Mapped: Tilyar Zoo]</ref> and worth visiting specially for families.<ref name=til2>[http://nevertiredoftravelling.wordpress.com/2014/04/26/destination-of-the-week-tilyar-zoo-rohtak/ Destination of the week : Tilyar Zoo Rohtak - by Indrajit Gehlot]</ref> Fishing is permissible at Tilyar Lake after paying INR200 fishing fee.<ref name=til3>http://myjourneythroughindia.wordpress.com/tag/tilyar-zoo-rohtak-haryana/ My journey through India</ref><br />
<br />
The lake lies in a {{convert|132|acre|km2|adj=on}} area and forms an integral part of the tourist setup, making it one of the greenest stretches in the adjoining area. The spacious lawns and the scenery on view make this resort a great place to relax, and people visit from as far away as [[Mumbai]]. It is also an excellent spot for watching a variety of birds that flock on the little island located in the middle of the lake. Entry to Tilyar lake is free. The lake complex also houses [[Rohtak Zoo]].<br />
<br />
==Mini zoo==<br />
Haryana had many mini zoos spread across the state. In 2001 the [[Government of Haryana]] decided to shut these down and replace them with well developed viable zoos, this included setting up the zoo at [[Rohtak]] within Tilyar Lake complex.<ref>[http://www.mrnaukri.com/2012/09/tilyar-lake-rohtak-photos-mini-zoo.html Tilyar lake travalogue]</ref> As a result, enclosures for housing animals and aviaries for birds were built. Visitor facilities such as landscaping, walkways & trials, gardens, hillocks, lakes, artificial waterfalls, cafe, visitor toilets & resting shelters, watch towers, drinking water facilities etc. were created.<ref name=til4>[http://cza.nic.in/Status%20of%20Master%20Plan%20Submitted%20by%20Zoos.pdf List of zoos who have submitted their master plan] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304054343/http://www.cza.nic.in/Status%20of%20Master%20Plan%20Submitted%20by%20Zoos.pdf |date=4 March 2016 }}</ref> Entry is only INR 10 for adults and INR 5 for kids.<br />
