Some of the Most Beautiful Lakes I have Seen in India
Two things prompted this post. One, a beautiful post on water bodies by Arun. Then we were discussing Lansdowne at Indiamike. We started discussing Bhulla Tal (Lake), a man made lake. Shashank and I were of the view that this Tal is not out of the ordinary. That is when I started thinking of the really beautiful lakes (all high altitude) I have seen in India.
Bhulla Tal, Lansdowne
Prashar Lake, Himachal PradeshObviously one such lake is Prashar Lake and you have seen better pictures of it taken by Anil on my blog. 
Changu Lake with Yak in Sikkim
Changu Lake with Yak in SikkimThis is Changu Lake in Sikkim. I clicked this picture on the way to Nathu-La and while coming back the fog was so thick the lake was not at all visible.
Dhankar Lake, SpitiI got lucky when I took this picture in Dhankar, Spiti. It was 9.30-10 in the morning and there were a lot of clouds in the sky. But for a moment the sun came out and I got this perfect reflection.
Pangong Lake, LadakhPangong Lake is such a beauty. This is one place that is even more beautiful than this picture suggests and Ladakh remains one of my all time favorite destinations.

BEautiful lakes...Must visit places...
Last photo is the one you have as header image right...
Hi, new here, came via backpakker's. The Changu lake's snap reminded me of my flight in a chopper over that lake. It was frozen and looked like a mirror. I had no cameras then.
I welcome you to my potpourri, do visit whenever time permits.
The last three photos look even lovelier!
:)
I am always attarcted to lakes surrounded by mountains. Parashar, Changu and Pangong lakes look amazingly beautiful. I live close to two deepest lakes in the world - Crater Lake (Oregon. Approx. 600m deep) and Lake Tahoe (California/ Nevada. Approx. 500m deep. Areawise it's the largest lake in US)
