Nako Lake

Nako Lake :-

Nako Lake is a high-altitude lake in the Pooh sub-division of the Kinnaur district. It
forms part of the boundary of Nako village and seems that the village is half buried in
the lake’s border. The lake is surrounded by willow and poplar trees. Near the lake
there are four Buddhist temples. Near this place there is a foot like impression
ascribed to the Saint Padmasambhava. Several miles away there is a village
called Tashigang around which there are several caves where it is believed that Guru
Padmasambhava meditated and gave discourse to followers. There is a waterfall
nearby which has snow water falling like a river of milk. Legend says that it is a
heavenly realm of fairies. In one of the caves you are still able to see the live
footprints of these fairies or other demigods. It is a sacred place for the people of
these valleys. Followers come from as far a place as Ladakh and Spiti valley.
