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. In one of the caves you are still able to see the live footprints of these fairies or other demigods. It is a sacred place for the people of these valleys.
