Author – Dr Amit Bagwe
Changu Lake:
At 12,000 feet, the lake is also known as “Tsongmo Lake”. The lake is 40 km from Gangtok and is home to safaris of “yak” animals and “cheese” made from its milk. There is also a Shiva temple by the lake. The lake is surrounded by mountains on all sides so it feels like looking at a picture. On the day of Jupiter full moon, the healers known as Zacharias use the medicinal water of the lake. The specialty of Changu Lake is that it is oval or oval in shape. Which makes it stand out from the rest of the lakes.
Baba Temple:
“Baba” Harbhajan Singh was in the Indian Army. He was martyred in the war in 1968 at the age of 27. He was posthumously awarded the Mahavira Chakra. His Samadhi was then built. Even today, it is said that they protect the soldiers there.
Enche Math: Enche Math is the only monastery. The monastery is built on the site of Lama Drupthob Karpo’s ashram.
Jhakri Waterfall Waterfall and Park:
Jhakri Waterfall Waterfall is located at a distance of 7 km from Gangtok. It is 100 feet high. There is also a man-made lake with a Chinese dragon in the middle. This is a park that reflects Shaman culture. It is also known as the Energy Park. Energy is generated from children’s rides here.
Tashi View Point:
Tashi View Point offers a spectacular view of the snow-capped Kanchenjunga Mountains. Similarly, almost the entire city of Sikkim can be seen from this place.
