Hi Hetal, Gurudongmar Lake will be open during the second week of May and is generally accessible from 7:00 AM to 10:30 AM. However, the actual accessibility depends on weather conditions and local regulations. May is a great time to visit Sikkim, the weather is pleasant, and you might even see the beautiful sight of the lake surrounded by blooming rhododendrons. Here's why it's best to check closer to your travel date: The high altitude of the lake (17,800 feet) makes it susceptible to unpredictable weather conditions. Snowfall or heavy rain can block the roads leading to the lake. Local authorities might close the road for safety reasons.
