A hidden gem in the heart of the mountains!

This is my all-time favourite. We discovered this place by accident on our road trip to Ladakh. Of all the places I’ve travelled and photographed, this picture is the one I keep coming back to. I don’t know what it is about this place but it has a very very special place in my heart. Suraj Tal or Suraj Tal Lake also called Surya Taal, is a sacred body of water, which literally means the Lake of the Sun God. It lies just below the Bara-lacha-la pass (4,890m) (8 km) in length) in the Lahaul and Spiti valley of Himachal Pradesh state in India and is the third highest lake in India, and the 21st-highest in the world. Suraj Tal Lake is the source of Bhaga River which joins the Chandra River downstream at Tandi to form the Chandrabhaga River in Himachal Pradesh territory, and as it enters Jammu and Kashmir it is renamed as the Chenab River.
