The lake lies above the historic Dhankar Monastery and can be approached by a trek from the monastery. The crystal-clear waters of the lake reflect the surrounding majestic peaks, creating a picturesque and tranquil environment.

The trail is approximately 2-3 kilometers long and takes about 1.5 to 2 hours to complete, depending on your pace and acclimatization to the altitude. The lake is surrounded by arid mountains and hardy vegetation like junipers and seabuckthorn, making it a haven for nature lovers and trekkers.
