Tsongmo
Lake or Changu Lake is a glacial lake in the East Sikkim, India, some 40
kilometres away from Gangtok at altitude of 3,780 m. The road to Nathu La passes
the lake on north side. The lake remains frozen throughout the winter up to
April end. Snowfall is also common in this area even during the summer months.
The
best place to look for travellers to share the trip with is in new Modern
Lodge. They actually arrange the tours themselves. The lake is so beautiful
especially on a clear day. If the weather condition is perfect, you could even
see a clear reflection of the snow-capped mountains on the lake.
Places
to See at Tsongmo Lake:
Nathu
La:
Nathu La is a mountain pass in the Himalayas. It connects the Indian state of
Sikkim with China's Tibet Autonomous Region. The other side of Nathula Pass is
Chumbi Valley of Tibet. This mountainous pass is one of the oldest trading
border posts connecting Tibet and India. The Nathula Pass is marked by Entrance
gates of both countries (India and China) and military bunkers on both sides of
the gates.
Babamandir: Baba Mandir near
Tsono lake and Nathula Pass is a sightseeing place near Gangtok. This “mandir”
or shrine is dedicated to “Baba” Harbhajan Singh, who was a soldier of the
Indian Army. He died near the Nathula Pass in eastern Sikkim, India. At this
much height our Indian Army serves to all visitors free of cost. Here you will
find Yaks, during snow-fall local peoples will conduct Yak-safari for tourist.
Lhasa
Falls:
Those of us who follow the Nathu La developments also will point out that we
have been waiting for an announced bus line between Gangtok and Lhasa since
2006. The Sikkim government is keen to open a Lhasa–Gangtok bus service via
Nathula pass. From there we went to the Lhasa Falls. It was a small waterfall.
By that time the sun was up again and it was clear and bright.
