This focused 4-day high-altitude expedition is tailored for adventurers driven to witness one of the highest freshwater lakes on Earth: sacred Gurudongmar Lake at 17,800 ft. Revered by Buddhists and Sikhs alike, the lake sits enclosed within a dramatic amphitheatre of snow-streaked peaks on the Tibetan plateau. After picking you up in Gangtok, the route climbs through the deep valleys of North Sikkim to Lachen at 9,000 ft, where you acclimatize. An early morning ascent past the military settlement of Thangu and the windswept Chopta Valley brings you to the sacred waters of Gurudongmar. With thoughtful pacing, professional drivers, and emergency oxygen onboard, we ensure a safe and respectful journey.
