Kamrunag Lake is located in the Mandi district of Himachal Pradesh, India. It is situated at 3,334 m (10, 938 ft) above sea level in D.P.F. Kamrunag which is between the Mandi State and the Suket State. To reach the lake there is an on-foot route from Rohanda to Kamrunag which takes about 3–4 hours and is about 6 km (3.7 mi) on steep mountain terrain and there is one other way via Chail-Chowk which takes about 2-3 hours from Mandi. In July 2020, The Himachal Pradesh State Biodiversity Board announced that the lake and the surrounding area would be recognized as a Biodiversity Heritage Site. There are many medicinal plants, special trees and exotic animal and plant species in the area around the lake which will be protected once it has been declared a Biodiversity Heritage Site.
