Meet verified people along Kolar Road, Bhopal

Kolar Road is one of Bhopal’s fastest-growing residential areas, stretching south from the city towards the Kolar dam. It is lined with new townships, schools, markets and a growing number of cafés and restaurants. Many young families and professionals have moved here for newer homes and a quieter pace. For Myra members, Kolar Road offers local, relaxed first dates, often in neighbourhood cafés or markets. Introductions here often include people from Chuna Bhatti, Shahpura, Nayapura, Sarvdharm and Lalita Nagar, and from central Bhopal if your distance limit allows. The area is close to the green hills and dams to the south of the city, such as Kerwa and Kaliyasot, which make lovely outings once you know someone well. For a first meeting, though, choose a café on the main road, where it is busy and well lit. Weekend mornings are a good time to meet here, when the roads are quiet and the cafés are calm. In the monsoon, the surrounding hills turn a deep green, and the drive along the road becomes one of the prettiest in the city. The road leads to the Kolar dam, built in the 1980s to supply drinking water to Bhopal, and the forested hills along the way are part of the Ratapani wildlife corridor, where leopards and even tigers have been spotted. This proximity to wild country gives the area cooler evenings than the city centre in summer. The nearby Kerwa reservoir and the Van Vihar fringe draw birdwatchers in winter, when bar-headed geese and other migrants arrive from Central Asia and settle on the water for several months.
