Gurudongmar Lake
Gurudongmar Lake, located in North Sikkim, is one of the highest lakes in the world, sitting at an elevation of approximately 5,430 meters.

The lake is fed by the Gurudongmar Glacier and remains partially frozen during the winter months.
It is considered sacred, with local legends stating that a portion of the lake never freezes due to the blessings of Guru Padmasambhava.
