Nestled amidst the majestic Himalayas in the heart of Arunachal Pradesh lies the mesmerising Sangetsar Lake, also known as Madhuri Lake. This high-altitude gem is located near Tawang, offering visitors a mesmerising experience at an altitude of 12,000 feet above sea level. The lake’s crystal-clear blue waters reflect the surrounding rugged, unnamed Eastern Himalayan peaks, creating a peaceful and breathtaking sight.
