Akshay Nagar is a neighbourhood in Begur ward in South Bangalore.[1][2] It is surrounded by Hulimavu to the west and Begur to the east. The area has undergone rapid residential and commercial development since the early 2010s, including several high-rise apartment complexes.[3] The locality is in close proximity to the Bannerghatta National Park, thus leading to occasional sightings of wild animals from the forest reserve.[4] The area has a lake spread over 5 acres.[5]
