It is believed that the lake is haunted by a demon, which leads to the place’s mysteriousness.

Thasiama Se No Neihna

Thasiama Se No Neihna is a plateau on a steep rugged hillock that protrudes out precariously and is not easily navigable by foot. Located at Vaphai, a village about 86 kms from Champhai, a visit to this site is a thrilling experience. According to legend the plateau is the site where Ṭhasiama's mithun gave birth to a calf, considered impossible for a mithun to climb even today. However, legend tells us that Ṭhasiama had an affair with a beautiful fairy name Chawngtinleri and that the fairy had bestowed him a gift that his Mithun will multiply and make him prosperous, from which time on the fairy would guide Ṭhasiama's Mithun for safe delivery to this particular hill and guard it against the onslaught of tigers that haunt the area.
