Story of Taudaha Lake

The Taudaha Lake was created by God Manjushree as a home for the serpents who lost their home when the valley was drained. Legend has it that the King of the Naga (or Serpents) – Karkotak resides to this day in the epicenter of the lake. The walls of his palatial home are said to be richly decorated with sapphires, rubies and other precious stones.
The Taudaha Lake is certainly a place where ducks pause on their long annual migration from Siberia to India . A hill known as Dinacho Champa Devi rises beyond the lake.
