So, wake up as early (4am) as you can and get ready for your Gurugongmar Lake Tour - one of the most sacred lakes believed by the Buddhists and Hindus alike. On the way we will visit some of the best sightseeing places in Lachen:

Thangu Valley: This is the first stop on the way to Gurudongmar Lake from Lachen. Located at an altitude of 13000 ft, this is 2 hrs journeys [35km] from Lachen. Basically this is a small hamlet with a few small wooden cottage and shops scattered nearby. This is a place with nature packed treasures all around. With snow capped mountain peaks all around and lots of streams, Thangu is a perfect halt to get fresh during this long strenuous journey. You can have tea, momo, noodles steaming hot that can boost you to go further. Because of its altitude, the valley is covered with snow most of the time in the year except summer. Full bloom Rhododendron in different colors and primulas all over, the valley become treasure hunt for travelers and trekkers. Spending some time here will make you feel good.



Chopta Valley: At an altitude of 13,100ft visiting this awe awe-inspiring valley is a must to behold the love of nature. This valley with its all grandeur offers immense peace to visitors with its tranquility and serenity. During summer, the valley become live with purple primulas all around and in winter the snow carpet offers wonderful view.



Kalapatthar: From Chopta valley on the way to Gurudongmar Lake visiting Kalapatthar is a must. As the place is below altitude then Gurudongmar Lake, high altitude sickness is less experience. Snow all around through the year is the cherry on top during your tour. With white snow all around and black rocks popping out in between makes the place an artist canvas with black and white painting.

Spend some time here, enjoy the beauty of Kalapatthar which is terribly good and heads towards Gurudongmar Lake.



As you proceed towards the lake, you will notice the geographical change. Gradually the land will become barren with less vegetation. Mainly shrubs and small bushy plants like rhododendron can be spotted here and there. You will be driving through the roads that will make you feel similar like Ladakh Tour from Kolkata. Soon you will notice snow capped High Mountain that marks that Lake Gurudongmar is near.

After arriving this wonderful place, behold the magnificent snow capped mountain and their reflections in the water of the lake. It is absolute bliss to be here. Roam around the banks, touch the water of the lake, feel its purity. You can visit the nearby temple or gompha where local people offer prayer and puja. You can hardly stay here for 30 to 45 minutes as it is extremely high altitude and breathing problem is inevitable due to scarcity of oxygen. So, don’t spend much time here and get down as early as possible.

The beautiful and awe inspiring lake remains milky in color throughout the year. According to a legend, since the lake used to remain frozen most of the year, it was not possible to use its water for drinking purposes. When the Guru Padmasambhava passed by, while returning from Tibet, the local residents are reported to have approached him for providing source of water. The Guru obliged. A portion of the lake touched by him does not freeze in extreme winter. Since water of the lake is considered sacred, visitors carry the 'blessed' water in bottles.


TIPS: While visiting Gurudongmar Lake, proper permits must be obtained from the local authority and frequent checking by the Army personal can be noticed as the area is vicinity of Indo-China border. Carry proper documents like Voter ID Card, Passport or Driving License etc in original and photocopy also along with some passport size photograph.
