Historical
lake
Many
myths
are
heard
about
this
lake
The
lake
is
bounded
on
three
sides
by
mountain
peaks
covered
with
thick
bamboo
forests.
The
area
of
the
lake
is
18.56
acres
(75,100
m2).
It
is
a
closed
lake
and
there
is
a
small
spring
named
Boga
chhara,
which
is
153
metres
(502
ft)
deep.
There
is
no
outlet
for
draining
out
water
from
the
lake.
The
lake
is
composed
of
the
soft
rocks
of
the
Bhuban
Formation.
The
main
source
of
water
is
the
rain
in
summer.
The
water
is
greenish
due
to
the
abundance
of
algae.
The
lake's
bed
is
covered
with
boulders,
like
any
other
hill
surface
in
that
area.
The
lake's
water
was
the
only
source
of
water
for
drinking,
washing
and
bathing
until
2012.
Later,
a
pipe
network
was
setup
to
bring
stream
water
for
drinking
and
household
activities.
There
is
a
small
village
of
Bawm
tribe
located
by
the
lake.
The
road
from
Ruma
to
Boga
Lake
is
still
under
construction,[citation
needed][when?]
which
is
accessible
by
trucks
and
SUVs
only
in
the
dry
season.
The
lake
attracts
tourists
because
of
its
scenery
but
it
is
inaccessible
by
any
other
means
of
transport.
Local
administration
and
the
Army
bars
the
tourists
from
hiking
through
the
canyons
and
hills.
The
only
way
to
travel
to
Boga
Lake
in
the
summer
is
by
hiking
the
same
under-construction
road.
The
Army
camp
placed
by
the
lake
prevents
tourists
from
bathing
in
the
lake
due
to
the
risk
of
drowning.
The
lake
is
full
of
underwater
kelp-like
vegetation
that
entangle
unsuspecting
swimmers.
There
are
around
35
cottages
located
in
the
Boga
Lake
para.
Before
entering
Boga
Lake,
tourists
need
to
get
permission
from
the
army
camp
situated
there.
There
is
also
a
church
for
the
local
people.
Most
of
the
Bawm
people
are
Christian.
The
area
also
serves
as
a
transit
camp
for
tourists
who
intend
to
travel
further
east,
namely
to
Keokradong.
