This serene and sacred lake is surrounded by dark pine forests and is believed to never freeze, even in the harshest winters. The dark waters of the lake and the peaceful environment make it a captivating stop. The spot is further beautified by a small Chorten and lots furling prayer flags hyming Om Mane Padme Hum
