There is another easy way to travel Gangtok. For this guests can come down to Pakyong Airport [PYG] and from there they can book a car to reach up to Gangtok by hiring a Cab. It is almost 34km and 1.30 hrs drives through beautiful composition of hills, mountains, forests, lakes and innumerable streams. Travelling cost by a dedicated car from Pakyong Airport to Gangtok can cost between Rs. 2500 to Rs. 3500 depending upon the season, weather and tourist influx.

This high altitude lake is surrounded by snow-capped steep mountains and remains frozen during winter. As summer beings to step-in, the glacier melts and the lake gets its origin. The locals consider the lake to be sacred, and it reflects different colours with the change in seasons.

Soldiers found his remains after 3 days and cremated with full military honour along with a shrine on his Samadhi built as per Baba's wish, which he expressed through his friend post-death. The original bunker of Baba Harbhajan Singh is located further up near the Gnathang valley which is the Old Baba Mandir but because of its difficult terrain tourist can't reach there so they build a New Mandir for easy access.
