Some info on the Gurudongmar Lake...
Our (me and my wifey) trip to North Sikkim (which included some more places too apart from Lachen & Gurudongmar) was undoubtedly memorable which we are going to cherish for the life time. Even now also, after more than 2 years of trip, we miss those breathtaking sceneries and unparalleled natural beauty which are hardly to come by for city dwellers like us....
We strongly recommend this beautiful journey if you are truly mad about offbeat destinations & don't have any breathing related ailments. The road from 5,200 feet to 17,600 feet above Mean Sea Level (MSL) will surely leave you mesmerised & craving for more !!!
