7 Mesmerising Lakes In India That Look Like Paintings
Here are the seven most mesmerising lakes in India that look too perfect to be real.
1. Pangong Lake, Ladakh
The spectacular Pangong Lake is noted for changing its colour from deep blue to turquoise to golden brown, depending on the position of the sun. It also creates the surreal contrast of earthy tones and icy blues. The best time to be here is from May to September.
2. Gurudongmar Lake, Sikkim
The 17,000 ft high Gurudongmar Lake reflects the snow-covered peaks around it, with crystal-clear still waters that mirror the heavens. It is surrounded by prayer flags, rocky terrain, and snowfields; it’s spiritual and surreal at once. April to June is the best time to visit.
3. Loktak Lake, Manipur
Loktak Lake, Manipur, is known for its floating circular swamps called phumdis. It looks like an abstract artwork when seen from above. It is a mix of open water, greenery, and local fishermen's boats, like a live painting in motion. The best time period to visit here is October to March.
4. Chilika Lake, Odisha
Chilika Lake is India’s largest coastal lagoon, according to EaseMyTrip, “Chilika is the largest saltwater lake in Asia.

5. Tso Moriri, Ladakh
Tso moriri is the reflection of barren brown mountains, and a flawless blue sky creates a surreal mirror effect. Its absolute silence, endless skies, and rich Himalayan light are perfectly photogenic and poetic. The best time to visit here is between June to September.
