Gurudongmar Lake - Hidden Treasure of the Himalayas

Gurudongmar Lake is one of the highest fresh-water lakes in the world, located in a high plateau area connected with the Tibetan Plateau, at an altitude of 17,100 ft (5,210 m), and remains frozen throughout the year. With clear blue skies in the backdrop and snow-white peaks fencing the lake boundaries the place appears truly divine, stunning and breathtaking!

The lake is considered one of the most sacred lakes by the Buddhist and Hindus. The lake is named after Guru Padmasambhava who had brought Tantric Buddhism to Tibet in the 8th century.

Being located close to a sensitive border, access to the lake is closely monitored by the Indian Army. The area is open only to Indian citizens during morning hours. All tourists are expected to clear the lake by 11 AM.

Sandakphu / Sandakfu (3636 m; 11929 ft) is the highest peak in the state of West Bengal, India. It is situated at the edge of the Singalila National Park in Darjeeling district on the West Bengal-Sikkim border, and is the highest point of the Singalila Ridge.

The trek along the Singalila Ridge to Sandakphu and Phalut is one of the most popular ones in the Eastern Himalayas due to the grand vistas of the Kangchenjunga range and the Everest range which can be seen from the ridge, and also for the seasonal wildflower blooms, red panda populations and birding.
