Its length is more than one kilometer and is very beautiful with around five small lake islands in it. The people of Tawang and west kameng considers these high altitude lakes to be sacred and visits these lakes for pilgrimage.
The team found that this is not a glacial lake but has only one outlet, the exit water flows towards another smaller lake which ultimately flows towards Tombi pho near Nuranang and if due to any change in climatic condition the outlet is blocked or in case of cloud brust this lake may pose dangerous to settlements like Nuranang and other villages on the bank of Tawangchhu river.
The team after survey returned back safely to headquarters in the late evening of 27th August.
