5.00This lake was stunning surrounded by beautiful nature. The road leading to the lake is very bumpy and rough in parts but what made the experience special was our local guide. He was knowledgeable and genuinely interesting, full of personality, and had the kind of stories that make you feel like you’re not just visiting a place, but actually understanding it.
