Sela Lake:
Two tourists from Kerala drowned after the frozen surface of Sela Lake in Arunachal Pradesh’s Tawang district gave way recently.
- Sela Lake, also known as Paradise Lake, is a glacial lake located near Sela Pass in Tawang district, Arunachal Pradesh.
- Sela Pass is a crucial mountain pass connecting the Tawang region with the rest of Arunachal Pradesh.
- Its crystal-clear waters reflect the peaks around it, offering a stunning view.
- The lake is usually frozen all winter because of its very cold temperatures (below zero).
- The lake and its surroundings have limited vegetation because of the altitude.
- Locals and Buddhist monks consider Sela Lake a sacred site.
