Sikundi Kulhi
About
Sikundi Kulhi, meaning "Prawn Lake", is a lake in the northwest of Milandhoo named after the prawns and shrimp that live in it. Barracudas and other fish swim in its water, with crabs and hermit crabs along the shore. About 110 m long, 76 m wide and up to 1.5 m deep, it is a calm spot for photos and wildlife watching, and kayak rides are offered on the lake. Clay from its centre is used in traditional medicine.
