Hello 👋my hive friends, I hope you're sound and safe. Today's journey brings us to a beautiful and sacred lake near Kanchenjunga ranges, Gurudongmar Lake.
On my previous day I stayed in Lachen and due to bad weather I couldn't visit any tourist site 😒. I read and saw many beautiful pictures in a travel blog on the Internet that there is a beautiful sacred Lake is situated near Lachen. So in the morning I decided to go there. My cottage owner managed a local vehicle 🚗and made himself a guide to go there 😀. Because the road is very tricky and almost a remote and quiet place.
In this journey I was not alone, I traveled with another two local couples including our guide. Our driver took Gurudongmer road from Lachen city. It took 2 hours and 20 minutes to reach there. Again weather was too bad👎. Due to fog everywhere, sadly we couldn't see the roadside views and of course the great Kanchenjunga ranges 😑.
Gurudongmar Lake is a hollowed Lake situated in the midst of the superb Kanchenjunga mountain ranges. It is one of the largest Lake on the world 🌎 and most acclaimed tourist destination in Sikkim. The Lake holds religious importance among Buddhist, Sikhs and Hindus🕉. This Lake is named afterthought author of Tibetan Buddhism Guru Padmasambhava who visited the Lake in the eighth century and presented it to the world 🌎😳. This is frozen in the winter except for one part. Local people believe that Guru Dongmer had once contacted and blessed this Lake and made it incompletely solidified consistently.
I found two Sacred Temples important for both Hindu, Buddhist and Shiks people.
There are no shops here 😐. So I had to pack my food before the journey. Also I visited this Lake at the wrong time, that's why I couldn't see the snow and almost completely solidified the frozen Lake 😑. I also missed the Kanchenjunga ranges due to foggy weather. I saw lots of people sitting with their cattles, Yaks, near the temple. So I didn't miss riding them. It was a fun ride.But having flaws, I enjoyed myself on this trip.
I hope you people enjoyed my experience. See you at another destination. Lots of love ❤. Bye
