Gurudongmar Lake

Overview

Nested amidst the mountains at 5,183 meters, Gurudongmar Lake is probably the most astounding lake on the planet. It lies in the North side of the Khangchengyao Range and is enclosed all around by snow-secured mountains. The region is said to be honoured by Guru Padmasambhava. There is a sanctuary of the Guru other than the lake. Owing to its high altitude location, the lake remained frozen most of the year. So, the local people asked for help from Padmasambhava who placed his hands on a part of the lake which stopped freezing even during the winters and thus offered drinking water to the people. Since this incident, the lake was believed to be sacred and pilgrims began to carry the sacred water back in containers. Nevertheless, the place offers one with lovely views. Encircled by snow-capped mountains, the views here are breathtaking. Click beautiful pictures with the lake at the backdrop, and do add it to your Sikkim trip, as visiting it is totally worth it.
