Surrounded by majestic peaks and open plains, the lake is fed by melting snow, giving it crystal-clear waters. The area offers a serene escape, where you can breathe in the fresh mountain air, enjoy a peaceful walk along the lake, and take in the awe-inspiring views. Depending on the season, you may even spot patches of snow lingering on the slopes, adding to the area's magical beauty.
