It is considered to be sacred and the lamas in the earlier times predicted the future with the changing colours of the lake. A dark hue forecasted danger to the city and vice versa. In summers, the blossom of flowers encloses the lake.
Then, head to the Baba Mandir. It is a shrine set at an altitude of 13,200 feet that is dedicated to Harbhajan Singh, a former Sentry of Punjab Regiment. It is said that he fell into a stream and drowned. He appeared in the dreams of his fellow mates and asked them to make a memorial on his name here. His soul is believed to be guarding the international boundary between India and China.
An optional tour to Nathula Pass can also be arranged at an extra cost. The pass is among the highest motorable roads reachable by travellers in the world and it connects India to China’s Tibet Autonomous Region.

This day specifically needs you to make a really early start, at 4 a.m. where you will drive 2590 feet above sea level to reach the Tiger Hill. The sweeping views of sunrise cannot be missed from this point where the sun’s rays quietly fills the dark sky with radiating brightness. Moreover, the panoramic views of the colossal Kanchenjunga mountain ranges and other snow clad peaks are worth every second of your time.
As you make your way back down, make a quick visit to the Ghoom Monastery and the Batasia Loop.
Built in 1850, the monastery is the biggest and the oldest Tibetan Buddhist establishment in Darjeeling. The Batasia Loop is a spiral track of the toy train that is constructed over a hilltop. The views from both these sightseeing spots are enchanting.
