  Its a meditation center for Buddhist monks. Normally villagers go there to offer them foods well known as "Dhaanaya". There are few verity of tree, animal, birds species are there. Specially Monkeys wild bores and leeches too. Normally villagers don't go so far in to the forest. There are may myths about lost people's stories related with the lake and the Forest. Dont ever try to bath here. I believe its too dangerous as it seems. Cuz there are so many deep holes in the lake. We went there with a friend ours who lives around. So we had the chance of going into the forest. Even at some points we lost our tracks to go back. So if you are going in, try to go with someone who knows the place.

  Shady umbrella of huge tree tops makes the monastery cool. This is a very clean place so don't pollute it. Only leave footsteps when you depart from here..But cannot see a diversity of plants and animals, Monkeys will make you hate them for sure.. :P
