	'''Nako Lake''' is a high altitude lake in the [[Poo, India\|Pooh]] sub-division of the [[Kinnaur]] district. It forms part of the boundary of [[Nako, India\|Nako]] village and seems that the village is half buried in the lake's border. It is about {{convert\|3662\|m}} above sea level. The lake is surrounded by willow and poplar trees. Near the lake there are four [[Buddhist]] temples. Near this place there is a footlike impression ascribed to the saint [[Padmasambhava]]. Several miles away there is a village called [[Tashigang]] around which there are several caves where it is believed that Guru Padmasambhava meditated and gave discourse to followers. There is a waterfall nearby which has snow water falling like a river of milk. Legend says that it is a heavenly realm of fairies.
