Tsmogo lake of Sikkim

     Tsmogo  lake remains frozen during the winter season. The lake surface reflects different colours with change of seasons and is held in great reverence by the local Sikkimese people. Buddhist monks prognosticated after studying the changing colours of the lake.After the winter season ends in middle of May, the periphery of lake has scenic blooms of flower species of rhododendrons . 
        Tourist attractions at the lake site include joy rides on decorated yaks and mules where kiosks offer variety of food and drinks. There is also a small Shiva temple on the bank of the lake. As the lake is located in a restricted area it is essential for all Indians visiting the area to obtain permits. In case of foreign nationals special permit is essential.

      This is one of the few and awesome high altitude lakes in India. The lake becomes doubly attractive with the reflections of the surrounding hills on the water. From Gangtok which is at 5410 ft, the altitude rises to about 10,000 ft in just 15kms. You can imagine how steep the gradient would be on this stretch of the road. 

         The lake is paradise for birdwatchers.Several migratory birds have stopover at this lake during winter months. Nathu La pass is Indochina boarder very near from here. Baba HarbhajanSingh mandir is just 17 kilometres away . It's managed by Indian Army soldiers. You're invited to join us for Darjeeling Sikkim tour in  mid-February .For details keep in touch with us.
