.. Well yeah, another trip to Sikkim is on the cards now. Its been due for quite some time.
Been almost a year since i have actually seen a snow clad mountain peak or felt the fresh air around, forget about being there !!
I keep browsing through my photograph archives.. collection since i was bitten by this travel bug ..maybe reliving those moments. Huh, years are passing too fast for me. So many mountains to cover, so little time left.
The whole point behind writing all these is I'm visiting North-Sikkim in ten days from now. So u know the countdown has already began. The plan took shape in such a fast pace that the excitement is yet to sink in. North-Sikkim is such a divine place. It has something in store for every season. Snow, flowers and beautiful terrain. Every inch of the whole place is mesmerizing. Any photography enthusiast's dream destination.
My tour itinerary has the Gurudongmar lake.
For the lesser mortals here are some handy information for quick reference - "Gurudongmar Lake (also known as Gurudogmar Lake) is one of the highest lakes in the world located at an altitude of 17,100 feet (5,148 m). It lies on the North side of the Khangchengyao Range in a high plateau area contiguous to the Tibetan Plateau. The stream emerging from the lake is one of the source-streams of the Tista River."
The terrain around is often compared with Tso-moriri Ladakh.
This is what Wiki has to say about the terrain of the place "Due to the extremely inhospitable terrain and the difficulties associated with reaching the place, the lake sees only a handful of visitors each year"
A fellow traveller has told me "At North-Sikkim the journey is the destination. Enjoy every moment" :)
Thank you all who have shared their pictures with me to be posted in by blog. Its time now to post my own. Thank You once again.
Amen.
