Tani Jubbar Lake is a small yet magnificent water body which is situated at a distance of 70 KMs from Shimla towards Thanedar, Kotgarh. The place is 12 kms from Narkanda. The lake is encircled by a paved pathway, beyond which are gentle slopes covered with Blue Pine and Spruce trees. Tani Jubar lake is famous for the ‘Nag Devta’ temple, where the locals offer prayers to the serpent god. The colorful fair of Tani Jubbar is celebrated annually at Tani Jubbar Lake.
