Madhuri Lake

If the beauty of Tawang has left you wanting more, choose Madhuri Lake as your next stop. Though numerous beautiful lakes are scattered all over Arunachal Pradesh, the splendid silhouette of the mountains surrounding Madhuri Lake makes it more beautiful. The lake was formed due to an earthquake that took place in the 1970s. A flash flood followed the earthquake, which resulted in the lake's formation.

If you plan to visit Madhuri Lake in winter, stay prepared to see a snow frozen lake. You can expect a crystal clear lake if you plan your trip in summer. Some members of the Indian army operate a cosy cafeteria where you can enjoy a cup of steaming coffee. You might even treat your taste buds with some delicious hot jalebi and samosas if you are lucky enough.

What Does Its Name Signify?

It is one of the most popular lakes in Tawang. Not everyone, including Madhuri Lake in their Arunachal Tour package is aware of the fact that the original name of the lake is Shonga-tser Lake. A Bollywood song was shot near the lake in the movie "Koyla' featuring Madhuri Dixit and Shahrukh Khan in the 90s. It got the name Madhuri from there. The appeal of the place enhances more after the sun sets. The place is serene so you can attain some inner peace. If you want to enjoy the view and explore the lake, take a walk along its banks.
