The lake is surrounded by steep mountains which were covered by snow. During the summer season, the snow cover melts and forms the source of the lake. In the winter season, the lake remains frozen.
The depth of the lake is approximately 49 feet. The lake is surrounded also by alpine forests. The Chinese border crossing is only 5 kilometers east-northeast straight line.
The lake is nearby Nathula pass and Nathula highway. The atmosphere was great and thrilling. After the winter season ends the summer is coming and then blooms different types of flowers of Rhododendron.Several species of birds seen in the lake area. The rare Red panda is seen also there.

The mesmerizing view attracted me and I clicked the legendary beauty of the lake. The ropeway was there tourists hired it. The height of the ropeway is approx 15,700 feet. I also hired it and the experience was heartbreaking and thrilling.
It is the high altitude and when I saw around the ropeway the view was just awesome. I thought I am top of the world. I clicked all the pictures from the ropeway.
After vising Tsomgo lake and sightseeing the lake, my mind was very refreshed and energetic. I was overwhelmed. You will also enjoy the view as well me.
Traveling the beautiful lake I went back to the hotel and thought all over the night.
The journey makes me happy.
