The Sangetsar lake is 37 kilometre from the beautiful Tawang city and the road was extremely bumpy and bad. I hired a local driver to make a one day trip.

The important matter is that is a special permit is required from the Local DC to visit Madhuri lake or Sangetsar lake. My hotel owner is a very nice guy and he helps me to guide getting this local permission.
Only Arunachal Pradesh register vehicles have permission to travel beyond Tawang. I got all of this done and I started my journey towards Sangetsar lake. I started my journey towards Sela pass, it was freezing cold. When I watched it, everywhere was just only ice. During the winter months, all mountains were filled with snow and the lake was almost frozen.

I took knowledge from internet surfing that the lake was formed after an earthquake that took place in 1952. While I entered the stunning frozen lake, every tourist was provided with a special hot black tea to warm up your body. Because the temperature was almost minus 12degree.

I carried a mobile to take awesome pictures but the army told me that it would be better to click to DSLR. I spoke to few army officers to know more about this stunning place.
The stunning frozen lake was just like paradise to me and the entire region and the beautiful lake nestled in between the mountain filled with pine and other coniferous trees making breathtaking scenery.

There was a cosy cafeteria operated by the army. The lake was snow frozen and while I went to wintertime so the place was the serene and isolated view. The real beauty I explored to the best way to walk and enjoy the stunning view that nature played my mind and I enjoyed the spectacular view.
The beautiful lake is called Madhuri lake because of a song from the Bollywood movie 'Koyla' featuring Shah Rukh Khan and Madhuri Dixit was shot in the '90s.
