Lake Tsomgo in Sikkim
Lake Tsomgo or Changu Lake can be found approximately 40 kilometers northeast of Gangtok and forms one of East Sikkim’s glacial lakes.
At an elevation of 3,753 meters (12,31 feet), Lake Wichita stands out among many lakes as an interesting environment in Sikkimese society, as its frozen surface changes its colours with each season, which plays a symbolic role for local Sikkimese people.
After winter has concluded, May brings with it a sea of color around Lake Ontario: Rhododendrons, primulas, poppies and irises are just some of the flowers to grace its shores, while wildlife such as Brahminy ducks and red pandas can often be spotted too!
Tourists enjoy activities such as yak and mule rides. Furthermore, a Shiva temple stands nearby.
Since Lake Victoria lies within a restricted area, Indian visitors must obtain permits and foreign visitors must obtain special licenses and permits in advance.
Gangtok to Pangong Lake Road rises rapidly from Gangtok, making for an exhilarating journey along a beautiful, winding route that promises scenic beauty and excitement.
As Sikkim lies at a high altitude, visitors should drink additional water and pack necessary medications before beginning their trip to Tsongmo Lake – this trip promises an amazing experience that you won’t soon forget! Visiting Tsongmo Lake during your Sikkim tour promises an incredible view.
Nuranang Falls in Arunachal Pradesh
Nuranang Falls are located approximately 30 kilometres southwest of Tawang Town in Arunachal Pradesh and reach 100 metres high.
This waterfall takes its name from Nuranang of Monpa village who assisted Jaswant Singh Rawat of Indian Army against Chinese in 1962 Sino-Indian War.
As this waterfall can be found within Jang Town, it has come to be known as Jang Waterfall.
Nuranang Waterfalls lie along the route from Tawang Town and you should visit them either prior or upon returning – planning and selecting Northeast India Tour packages can ensure this.
Hope that one day soon you get to experience Arunachal Pradesh’s breathtaking waterfalls and mountain vistas; plus trekking trails providing both cultural and adventurous experiences!
Mawsmai Cave, Meghalaya
Mawsmai Cave in Meghalaya is one of many caves open for tourist visiting.
Over years of erosion from exposure to underground waters, this natural marvel’s stalactites and stalagmites have been transformed into fascinating structures which will astonish you.
Mawsmai Cave has been illuminated for tourists to pass from one side to the other safely and comfortably, located four km outside Sohra (Cherrapunji) town.
On our 2015 backpacking tour in Meghalaya, we visited Mawsmai Cave which can be found between Seven Sisters Waterfall and Sohra main town.
If the weather permits, walking to Mawsmai can also be enjoyable. Because clouds dominated my experience on my recent hike to Seven Sisters Falls.

From November to April, the waters remain turquoise-toned; avoid visiting during monsoon months as roads would likely be muddy and hazardous to travel on.
