A glacial lake called Tsomgo Lake, sometimes called Changu Lake, is situated in the Indian state of Sikkim, about 38 kilometers from Gangtok. It is one of Sikkim's most visited tourist destinations and is located at a height of around 3,780 meters above sea level.
Visitors may enjoy a breathtaking view of Sikkim's natural beauty from the lake, which is flanked by towering mountains and verdant woods. The lake's water varies in hue from deep blue to turquoise to green depending on the time of year and the amount of sunshine.
The Tsomgo Lake is revered by the Sikkimese inhabitants of the area and is said to have developed with the help of the Buddhist deity Guru Rinpoche. The lake is recognised for its therapeutic qualities and serves as a vital water source for the local settlements.
The favorite pastime among tourists is taking a yak or pony ride around the lake. Also, there are a number of vantage spots around the lake from where guests may take in a comprehensive view of both the mountains and the lake.
Tsomgo Lake is a haven for biodiversity with a broad variety of plants and wildlife in addition to its natural beauty. Many fish species, including the well-known trout, reside in the lake, which also serves as a nesting place for many different water birds.
Yet throughout the winter, when it is frequently covered in snow, the lake stays inaccessible because of its high height and erratic weather. The lake is still one of the most well-liked tourist attractions in Sikkim and a must-see location for visitors to the area.
