Khecheopalri Lake

Discover the serene beauty of Khecheopalri Lake, affectionately known as the"wishing lake."Surrounded by lush green forests, this tranquil lake holds sacred significance for both Buddhists and Hindus in Sikkim. Visitors are reminded that only prayers are allowed here; no water sports or other activities are permitted.

Legend has it that not even a single leaf can float on the lake's surface, as the birds ensure its pristine condition. The area around the lake is also home to Lepcha Houses and their communities, offering a glimpse into local culture.

For travelers, the Tourist Department provides Trekker's huts for accommodation, while pilgrims can stay at the pilgrim's hut managed by the Tourism Department. These accommodations offer a comfortable stay for those on pilgrimage tours, allowing them to immerse themselves in the spiritual aura of this sacred site.
