It is a major attraction for boating, kayaking, and fishing. One of the highlights is the 'Hanging Bridge' (Jhulonto Bridge) which connects two hills over the lake. Visitors can also explore nearby tribal villages, waterfalls, and Buddhist temples. The scenic beauty of the lake and its surroundings is truly mesmerizing.
