Teesta River

Reviewed By Sonaliexplores - Mumbai, India

As we had travelled during rainy season the river was gushing with strong flow. On your way to Gangtok from Siliguri on National Highway 10, the first thing you will start enjoying is the beautiful company of Teesta River. You will get some great scenic views of the river on your way. There are few tourist spots where you can enjoy white river water rafting.

Nestled at an elevation of 4600 ft (1,400 m), Lampokhari Lake is a breathtakingly attractive, boot-shaped Lake at Aritar in the Eastern region of Sikkim. Endowed with an emerald hue, Lampokari Lake is a pristine visual treat to the eyes. It is also known to be the oldest natural freshwater lakes in Sikkim.

Khecheopalri Lake

Reviewed By kakaanirban

The place is really scenic and peaceful. Try to come in the afternoon when you can sit beside the lake for long time and enjoy the nature. The lake water is absolutely clean, the ripples in the water, the colourful prayer flags all add to the beauty of the place. To know more on my Khechiopalri experience visit ramblersnaps blog.

Kartok Lake

Reviewed By SGRG069 - Gangtok, India

Small but beautiful and yet another sacred lake in Sikkim. It is believed that the lake is religiously connected with the consecration of the first king of Sikkim. Spent late afternoon or evening in the serene and peaceful surroundings of the lake and feel the peace of mind.
