|  Gurudongma
Lake - North Sikkim
At an altitude of over 17000ft close to the
Tibet border lays Gurudongmar - one of the most sacred and pristine
lakes in Sikkim. Vast plateau that crosses
the Indo-Tibet border, green grassy field criss-crossed by thousands
of snaky glacier fed streams with perennial snow covered slops
that rises from it mark the landscape of the region.
 The
road to Gurudongmar from Thangu passes through the high alpine
pastures carpeted with thick rhododendron bushes. One can get
a prized view of rare Bramhakamal flower peeping through the
bushes in inaccessible terrain or of a herd of blue sheep grazing
in the distant valley.
 There
is no accommodation in Gurudongmar. People visiting the lake
have to stay at Thangu or in Lachen.
Because of the high altitude it is advisable that tourists having
irregular blood pressure or heart problem should avoid the place.
Gurudongmar needs special entry permit from
army, which can be obtained with the help of naturebeyond. The
foreigners are however, not allowed to go beyond Thangu.
