Gurudongmar Lake is one of the most amazing tourist destinations in Sikkim. The sight of the lake is sure to leave you spellbound and is a great place to enjoy the beauty of nature. It is approximately 170 kms from Gangtok. The entire lake is encircled all around by snow-covered mountains, during the winters entire lake freezes, making it a beautiful tourist spot.
