Line 57: A series of small hills surround the basin, which has an oval shape, almost round, with a circumference at top of about 8 km (five miles). The sides of the basin rise abruptly at an angle of about 75°. At the base of the sides, the lake has a circumference of about 4.8 km (three miles). The slopes are covered with tree-savannah, housing teak (''[[Tectona grandis]]''), ''[[Wrightia tinctoria]]'', ''[[Butea monosperma]]'', and ''[[Helicteres isora]]'', and with shrub-savannah housing ''[[Acacia nilotica]]'' and ''[[Ziziphus]] spp.''.
