High‑altitude tarn in the Singalila range framed by rhododendrons and prayer flags; captures reflections of the Greater Himalaya on clear days. Best at sunrise or sunset for warm side‑lighting and mirror reflections. Accessible by a short trek from Sandakphu/Phalut trails—expect rough paths, cold winds, and limited parking at the trailhead. Visit autumn and late spring for clear skies and blooms; avoid monsoon for fog. Respect local customs: the pond is considered sacred by villagers.
