#TsomgoLake, also known as #TsongmoLake or #ChanguLake, is a riot of colours, and takes different forms in different seasons. While winter brings visitors to a frozen stretch of ice, instead of a lake, with snow all around it, spring arrives in full bloom to cover the surrounding area of the clean water with a profusion of flowers. At a distance of 38 km from #Gangtok, #Tsomgo, meaning source of water in Bhutanese, lies at an altitude of 3,779 m, on the way to Nathu la Pass.

Tsomgo Lake, also known as Tsongmo Lake or Changu Lake, is a glacial lake in the East Sikkim district of the Indian state of Sikkim, some 40 kilometres (25 mi) from the capital Gangtok. Located at an elevation of 3,753 m (12,313 ft), the lake remains frozen during the winter season. The lake surface reflects different colours with change of seasons and is held in great reverence by the local Sikkimese people. Buddhist monks prognosticated after studying the changing colours of the lake. As the lake is located in a restricted area it is essential for all Indians visiting the area to obtain permits. In case of foreign nationals special permit is essential. Indian Postal Service released a commemorative stamp on the lake on 6 November 2006. The lake is formed in an oval shape and has a surface area of 24.47 hectares (60.5 acres). The maximum length of the lake is 836 metres (2,743 ft) and has a maximum width of 427 metres (1,401 ft). The maximum depth reported is 15 metres (49 ft) while the average depth is 4.58 metres (15.0 ft). The lake water quality is of moderate turbidity. The lake is the venue for the Guru Purnima festival which is also the Raksha Bandhan festival when the faith healers known as Jhakris of Sikkim assemble at the lake area to derive benefits from the healing qualities of the lake waters. Alpine forests cover the catchment of the lake. After the winter season ends in middle of May, the periphery of lake has scenic blooms of flower species of rhododendrons (the state tree of #Sikkim), primulas, blue and yellow poppies, irisesand so forth. Also seen in the precincts of the lake are several species of birds including Brahminy ducks. Wildlife seen includes the red panda. Tourist attractions at the lake site include joy rides on decorated yaks and mules where kiosks offer variety of food and drinks. There is also a small Shiva temple on the bank of the lake. #TsomgoLake #TsongmoLake #ChanguLake https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn_QoiQjo_-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9x9c5zjkffz
