Gurudongmar Lake
Gangtok, Sikkim, India
Gurudongmar Lake is one of the highest lakes in the world, situated at an altitude of 5,430 meters (17,800 feet). This sacred lake holds religious significance for both Buddhists and Sikhs. Legend states that Guru Padmasambhava (Guru Rinpoche) and Guru Nanak Dev visited the lake. The stunning turqu oise waters of the lake are surrounded by snow-capped peaks and barren, high-altitude plains. The views are breathtaking and surreal. Due to the extreme altitude and low oxygen levels, visitors are advised to spend only a limited time at the lake. Permits are mandatory to visit Gurudongmar Lake, and the journey from Lachen is challenging. Acclimatization in Lachen is crucial before undertaking this trip. The landscape is stark and beautiful, offering a unique high-altitude experience.
