Attraction
North Sikkim
One of the highest lakes in the world at around 5,183 metres, held sacred by both Buddhists and Sikhs, with water that stays partly unfrozen even through the coldest months.
Best time to visit
April to June & September to mid-December (North Sikkim permit required)
Good to know
Revered in both Buddhist and Sikh tradition — a place of quiet pilgrimage as much as scenery.
At over 5,000 m, this is a serious high-altitude excursion, only attempted with proper acclimatisation.
Reached via Lachen, deep in North Sikkim, as part of a multi-day North Sikkim itinerary.
