Tsomgo Lake
51 km | Approximately 2 hours
A glacial lake held in a bowl of high ridges on the road to the Nathu La pass, frozen through the coldest months and mirror-still in spring. It sits far above the town and the drive climbs steadily, so it is a full-day excursion. A permit is required and is arranged in advance — the resort can advise.
