How To Reach Tso Lhamo Lake

Lachen, Sikkim, India
Geographical Marvel: Located at a staggering altitude of approximately 5,330 meters (17,490 feet), Tso Lhamo Lake (also spelled Cholamoo or Cho Lhamo) is recognized as the highest lake in India and one of the highest in the world. Source of the Teesta: It is a significant glacial lake, fed by the su rrounding snow-capped peaks and glaciers of the Himalayas, and is considered one of the primary sources of the mighty Teesta River. The View: The lake offers a mesmerizing, stark, and solemn landscape. It is surrounded by barren, severe, snow-clad mountains, with the lake's crystal-blue waters providing a stunning contrast. The air is extremely thin, and the weather is harsh. Security Status: Due to its position just 4-5 KMS from the international border with China (Tibet), this location is highly sensitive, and access is extremely restricted, requiring special permits even beyond the Gurudongmar Lake checkpoint. Foreigners are generally Not Permitted.
