   You will be left enchanted by the sheer beauty of the lake. Water changes many colours during bright sunlit day, due to its brackish water. Lake freezes completely during winters, With -35 degrees.Best time to visit is during summers. Though it's still quite cold at that height. I walked by its side and ended up meditating, as we feel grace all around when we encounter such vastness. I felt very tiny . Best experience of my life, beyond words.
