A team of mountaineers discovered the lake a few months ago and as per the measurement of the lake by the team, it is located at an altitude of 5,200m, which is yet to be officially verified.

The lake is called Singar by the locals, and is said to have formed out of the water melted from the Himalayas which is partly the effects of global warming.
