Also know as the popular maduri lake is said be be formed after a massive earth quake struck in the 1980s and the lake which was somewhere above the mountains came floating down with the rocks rolling down stopping the water forming lake on the place which was earlier a mini forest. One can still see the forest trees in the mid part of the lake standing tall, though now it does not have the leaves like once it use to have. The lake stands beautifully beneath the mountains as it is surrounded by rocky mountains. There are many myth stories formed with lake among the locals some of which might be interesting to listen. If planning to visit Tawang, Shungatsar Lake (Maduri Lake) is a must place to visit here. It is some 20-24km away from the town. Beware of bunny roads as you gonna starts the trip on a bumpy road.
