Elephant Lake
Elephant Lake, also known as Kupup Lake, is a stunning glacial lake nestled in the Eastern Himalayas of East Sikkim, Sikkim. Situated at an altitude of approximately 13,066 feet above sea level, the lake is one of the highest in Sikkim and is revered for its crystal-clear waters that reflect the surrounding snow-capped peaks.
The lake's unique shape, resembling an elephant, has earned it the nickname "Elephant Lake".
The journey to Elephant Lake is as mesmerizing as the destination itself, with winding roads flanked by lush greenery and vibrant rhododendrons, especially during the spring. The lake is part of the old Silk Route and holds historical significance due to its proximity to the border with China.
Visitors can enjoy the serene beauty of the lake, spot various species of birds, and embark on treks to nearby attractions such as the Jelep La Pass and the Nathu La Pass.
