Located in North Sikkim, Gurudongmar is about 170 kms of a scenic drive away from Gangtok via Lachen. Since the thin mountain air makes the lake region inhabitable you will not find any accommodation there. It is best to stay at Lachen overnight to acclimatize; an idyllic mountain hamlet with vibrant flora and fauna, surrounded by snowy peaks, you can spend an entire day exploring it. Hire a cab to visit the lake early morning, the next day. You will have to get a government permit to visit. Foreign nationals are not allowed since the area is very close to the Indo-Chinese border.
