Near Arunachal Pradesh, India, on the India-Burma border, Pangsau village in northern Myanmar, surrounded by thick forests, has a place as mysterious as Bermuda - "The Lake of No Return". About1.5 km long and only 0.8 km wide lake is surrounded by many more stories. There is a history behind its naming. Along it runs the historic Ledo Road, built by the Allies in 1942, during World War II. On the map it was identified as Stilwell Road.
At that time, cargo planes were going to China via India over this lake bordering the eastern side of the Himalayas. At that time, the Allies knew of no safer route to deliver supplies to the US and Chinese forces fighting against Japan. But for some unknown reason the logistic planes were either diverted or turned upside down around the lake.
Even there, the planes would have "mechanical faults" and the pilots could not send any messages. Even in modern times no one has been able to explain the mystery of this lake till date. A company of Japanese troops was returning through that route after a successful campaign against the British. He lost his way and went to that lake. One by one they died there after being infected by malaria germs floating in the air of the lake. That is, no matter how you go, if you pass by this lake, it is sure not to return. Once an entire battalion of Japanese soldiers simply disappeared from the vicinity of Ya2ay Lake. Even another army team that went to investigate it did not return. According to another source, a group of US Army was once sent to monitor the lake. Suddenly the water in the lake starts to rise and they drown in the water trap. After many attempts, they are unable to get out of the water bouquet. Let the lake water take their throats!  For those who think it's just a myth, this lake is mentioned in the ancient writings of the "Ten Tribes of Israel who fled." These tribes were driven out of Israel during the Crusades. It is believed that one of the tribes made their home in this region. There are also local ancient folk tales. A villager once caught a big fish from this lake. Everyone in the village was invited to eat the fish, except for an old woman and her granddaughter. Not only that, the caretaker of the lake asked them both to leave the village that very night. The next day, the entire village was submerged in the water of that lake. Before going further, the old woman throws her bamboo stick into the lake, the locals believe that the bamboo is still growing under the water of the lake. The mystery does not end here. The lake does not want to be caught on camera! Even if you take a picture of this lake, the picture comes out blurry from above. Perhaps a ray is always radiating around the lake for which no photo plate can be identified! Again, those who have tried to circumambulate the lake by helicopter at different times, the information is not the same with any of them. Some are not willing to accept it as a lake. According to them, it is just a piece of land covered with dense forest.  Currently the lake is abandoned. Near it live the Tangsa tribe in the Pangsau Pass region. They organize Hime Utsav in Sambar every winter. Enthusiastic tourists flock to Pansau to experience the aboriginal lifestyle and the mysticism of the lake at the same time. Moreover, the rumor that the lake cannot be photographed is also a kind of lie. Otherwise, who took so many pictures on Google, how did they take them? Let's see how long this mystery of the lake remains unsolved. Although the authenticity of the mystery of the lake cannot be guaranteed, it can be said that any tourist will not be disappointed by seeing the village of Pansau surrounded by greenery. This historical place contains many memorials of World War II, including the graves of soldiers who lost their lives in the war.
