Chanwani Lake: Wildlife sanctuary

            The Chanwani lake in the midst of Gamgul Siyabehi sanctuary has been enthralling the visitors since ever. The lake is situated beside rocky cliffs near the top of the mountain and derives its water from melted snow. It lies frozen under a thick coat of snow during winters. The lake makes up for a great picturesque allure.
