This lake, officially called Mebar Tsho, is located near the Tang Valley. What makes Burning Lake unique is the belief that it is not an ordinary body of water. Locals claim that the lake’s depths are filled with treasures and religious artifacts.

This unique lake is located in the Tang Valley, and it is called the Burning Lake because of a legend associated with it. According to the story, a famous saint named Pema Lingpa had a vision, and he jumped into the lake holding a burning butter lamp. Miraculously, he emerged from the water with the lamp still burning and discovered hidden treasures. 

This event made the lake holy, and today, it is a pilgrimage site where people come to offer prayers and seek blessings.
