Seruvalsar Lake (also spelled Sirolsar Lake or Serol Sar Lake,) is a high altitude lake in the Seraj Valley of the Kullu district, Himachal Pradesh, India. The lake is about 3100m (10,200feet) above the sea level and is surrounded by thick forest cover.[1] Seruvalsar Lake is accessible via Jalori pass.[2]
