Eros Lake in Chembra, India
Visit the summit of Chembra in the Wayanad Hill range, near Meppady town in Kalpetta, Kerala. This ideal destination offers an immersive long-distance trekking experience in southern India. At an altitude of 1,398m, atop the long, steep path leading to Chembra's peak, you'll find Eros Lake—a must-visit landmark for every traveler. The iconic heart shape of Eros Lake is entirely nature's creation. The water in the lake is warm, and the grassy shore has been transformed into a small golf course, a guesthouse, and even a century-old horse stable, originally serving the English plantation owners. Today, it retains many traces of its rich history.
Shimshal Ice Lake in Hunza Valley, Pakistan
Formed through geological marvels over thousands of years, Shimshal Ice Lake stands as a romantic masterpiece of nature. Its crystal-clear waters embrace the perfect shape of a love heart, recognized as one of the world's most beautiful heart-shaped lakes. If reaching Shimshal Ice Lake is challenging, Pakistan's tourism offers Lower Kachura Lake, another heart-shaped wonder surrounded by towering mountains.

Rih Lake in Myanmar
With a length exceeding 1.6km, a width of approximately 800m, and a depth of over 18m, Rih Lake remains full year-round, never running dry. Its uniqueness lies in the water turning red during the second week of December, lasting one to two months until the end of the cold season. Rih Lake holds significant spiritual importance in the local community, believed to be a celestial pathway called Pialral that all souls must traverse. Locals frequently visit Rih Lake for prayer, drawing pilgrims even from neighboring India.
Siit Lake in the Philippines
Siit Lake, nestled in the densely populated Sulu region of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, stands out as one of the most captivating lakes in southern Philippines. Often compared to the love goddess Aphrodite from Greek mythology, the heart-shaped beauty of the lake attracts numerous visitors. Siit Lake is also known by other names, including Seit, Sait, or Siet.
Narli Gol Volcanic Crater Lake
Narli Gol Lake not only captivates with its romantic imagery but also offers therapeutic properties for conditions like arthritis and skin diseases due to its mineral-rich waters. Many hotels with hot spring therapy have been built around the lake. If you find yourself in Turkey, seek out Narli Gol volcanic crater lake, approximately 36km southeast of Aksaray in Cappadocia. Formed through a volcanic eruption, nature has sculpted this lake into the shape of a heart.
