A popular folktale surrounds the lake, claiming that every month, a golden bowl materializes at its center, shimmering like the moon. Yet, its enchanted nature has prevented anyone from laying hands upon it. The vicinity of Kundol Lake boasts numerous stunning attractions, including the Spinkhor Waterfall, Loypanghalay Lake, Desan Meadows, Katora Lake, Jaaz Banda, and Gabeen Lake.
