Gurudongmar lake town as named after Guru Dongmar of Sikkim. We can say the lake is having religious values of the local people.

Once you reach the location you should not miss the view of Mount Khanchendzonga and Siniolchu. Both hill areas are able to take a breath away from our body because of their charm and beauty. The lake is completely surrounded with snow and icy water. As per sources Guru Dongmar (also recognized as Guru Padmasambhava) sanctified this lake. That is the reason one portion of the lake never freezes in extreme chilled conditions as well.
