Suraj [Vishal] Tal lies at 15,747 feet above sea level in Lahaul region of Indian state of Himachal Pradesh.
It lies on Manali – Leh highway.
The lake originates at Baralacha.
The original name of the lake was Suraj Tal.
However, it was renamed as Vishal Tal in memory of Caption Vishal who lost his life in helicopter crash at the location.
Internet sources claim that the lake is source of Bhaga River; however during last week of September, I could not see any river / stream originating from the lake.
