Tani Jubbar Lake

Tani Jubbar Lake is a small rain-fed freshwater lake located near Jarol village in Kotgarh, Shimla district, Himachal Pradesh. Situated at an elevation of approximately 2,477 meters, it lies about 12 km from Narkanda on the Thanedar Road. The lake is surrounded by dense forests of deodar, pine, and spruce, and features a paved pathway along its perimeter. It holds cultural significance due to the adjacent Nag Devta temple and hosts an annual fair.

Visitors can expect a serene oval-shaped lake encircled by a paved walkway and dense coniferous forests. A small temple dedicated to Nag Devta stands on the banks, serving as a local pilgrimage site. The area includes an eco-park with gentle slopes covered in pine and spruce trees. The lake's still waters often reflect the surrounding forest, creating photogenic views. Birdwatching opportunities exist with species like pheasants and Himalayan eagles present in the vicinity.

The lake is considered sacred by local communities due to the Nag Devta temple on its banks, where locals worship the serpent deity as protector of the land. The annual Tani Jubbar Fair is held here, featuring traditional attire, folk dances (Nati), local cuisine, and religious rituals centered around the local deity.
