Popularly known as Boga Lake, is a natural waterbody in the hill district of Bandarban. The lake attracts tourists because of its scenic beauty but it is inaccessible by motorised transports. Only those who dare the trouble of trekking through the bushes can visit the lake, whose main source of water are natural springs. The local tribal people use the water of the lake for drinking.
It is gainsaid that there is a hot spring at the bottom of the lake and the colour of the lake's water changes due to the discharges of the hot spring. No fish can live nor any weed can grow in this lake. Ethnic people living around the place believe that Boga Lake and its surroundings are the abodes of goddesses, to whom they pray for good harvests of Jhum cultivation. The lake is much adored by the hill, people who yearly offer sacrifice to propitiate the spirit of the water.
