Tsomgo Lake
This pristine glacial lake is 40km from Gangtok at an elevation of 12,400ft. It is considered sacred by Hindus & Buddhists. Surrounded by snow capped mountains, the beauty of the lake is unsurpassed. During spring & summer, the mountains around the lake are reflected in the lake, creating stunning photographs. During the heights of winter, the lake freezes over& you can even walk on the frozen lake.

Baba Harbhajan Singh Mandir or Baba Mandir
This is a shrine built in honour of an Indian Army personnel named Harbhajan Singh, who died near Nathu La in 1968. The original Baba Mandir is further north near Kupup valley where he was posted, the new one near Tsomgo Lake was built for easier access.The legend goes that Baba Harbhajan Singh guided rescue workers to find his remains 3 days after his death. It is said that he warns the Indian Army of any impending danger from China. Apparently during flag meetings between China & India in Nathu La, the Chinese set a chair aside to honour him.

Nathu La Pass (Depending on Weather,Permit & Date) (Closed on Monday & Tuesday)
Nathu La Pass is the passage between India & China, located 57km from Gangtok at an altitude of 14140 ft. It was snowing heavily when I went, and the official rule is that photography is prohibited, so I left my camera & phone in the car, but when I got there I saw everyone taking pictures on their phone, and felt silly having left all my gear behind. There isn’t much to see here, other than the fencing at the border. There is a long staircase to the border which was extremely crowded to get through on the day that I was there. All the tourists had a ball of a time playing in the snow, but I ran back to the car-I’m not a big fan of the cold, and for that reason I didn’t climb up to the border, just saw it from below.
After that return to Gangtok& Overnight stay.

Day 6

Drop

After Breakfast Drop at NJP Railway Station/Bagdogra Airport/Siliguri Bus Stand with sweet memories.
