Khecheopalri Lake
Khecheopalri Lake, located in West Sikkim, is a sacred lake revered by both Buddhists and Hindus. Originally known as Kha-Chot-Palri, meaning "the heaven of Padmasambhava," the lake is situated near Khecheopalri village, approximately 147 kilometers west of Gangtok.
It is believed to be a wish-fulfilling lake, and its pristine waters remain undisturbed by floating leaves, as birds are said to pick them up immediately. The lake is an integral part of the Buddhist pilgrimage circuit, which includes Yuksom, Dubdi Monastery, Pemayangtse Monastery, Rabdentse ruins, Sanga Choeling Monastery, and Tashiding Monastery.
Surrounded by dense forests, it is also a biodiversity hotspot, contributing to ecotourism and conservation efforts. The lake's formation is estimated to be around 3,500 years old, and it is believed to represent one of the four plexuses of the human body in Sikkim’s sacred geography.
