Located at a distance of about 20 kilometers from Patnitop is the Sanasar Lake. Some visitors claim that it is one of the most beautiful places they have ever seen. Some even call it a view similar to a mini Switzerland! You reach here by car or hire a taxi from Patnitop. The route is through the Natha Top which is another sight to behold. It is an expanse of thickly covered in snow, popular for skiing activities and paragliding. You get to see amazing natural vistas on the way. Lush green grassy landscapes with pine trees and off course this shimmering lake in between. Apart from snacking around the lake as a family picnic, horse-riding is also very popular among the visitors here. Strike a hard bargain from the horse ride vendors for they will quote a high price at first. There is an echo point here as well, do experience hearing your words as they echo through the paradisiacal mountains.
