Cholamu Lake, the 14th highest lake in the world and the highest in India, is located in North Sikkim at an altitude of 18,000 feet. 🏔️🌊 As you come down the slope from Donkiala Pass (18,300 feet), you’ll catch your first glimpse of this almost frozen lake. Cholamu Lake is just a few kilometers from the Tibet border and is off-limits for regular tourists. 🚫 To visit, you need special permits from the Army and Sikkim police/administration. 📝🌐
