Himayat Sagar is located about 20 km from Hyderabad in Andhra Pradesh, India. It lies parallel to the Osman Sagar Lake and relatively smaller in size. The construction of reservoir on Musi River was completed in 1927. It is named after the youngest son of the Nizam VII, Himayat Ali Khan.

The Himayat Sagar and Osman Sagar reservoirs provide continuous water supply to the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad. The storage capacity of the reservoir is about 3.0 TMC.

The grassy area adjoining the lake is an ideal picnic spot. The road atop the bund is popular for a good road for a drive.
