Gurudongmar Lake : For travelers booking a North Sikkim package tour, this destination is a must-visit as part of a memorable experience exploring the beauty of North Sikkim.

The lake, surrounded by majestic snow-capped peaks and alpine meadows, is renowned for its striking milky-blue color, which remains unchanged throughout the year, adding to its mystical charm. The lake used to remain frozen for most of the year, which made its water inaccessible for drinking purposes. However, according to local legend, the lake's miraculous properties are tied to a visit from Guru Padmasambhava, a revered Buddhist figure. It is said that during his return from Tibet, the residents of the area, struggling with the frozen waters, approached the Guru for help. In response, Guru Padmasambhava blessed the lake, and as a result, a part of the lake touched by him never freezes, even during the harshest winter conditions. This miraculous feature has made the lake a spiritual symbol, as the water in this part is considered sacred and is believed to possess healing properties. Visitors to the lake often carry bottles filled with the blessed water, which is thought to bring good fortune and divine blessings. The serene beauty and spiritual significance of Gurudongmar Lake make it a must-visit destination for those exploring the natural wonders of North Sikkim.
