Lachen is a small, quiet village in North Sikkim surrounded by tall mountains and alpine forests. It is the base for visiting the breathtaking Gurudongmar Lake, one of the highest lakes in the world, located at over 17,000 ft. The journey to the lake is an adventure in itself, passing through remote landscapes, snow-covered peaks, and army camps. The lake, with its crystal-clear blue water, holds deep spiritual importance and is a place of silence and awe. The high altitude, stunning views, and peaceful surroundings make this a truly unforgettable destination for nature lovers and spiritual seekers alike.
