The Khecheopalri Lake is an integral part of Buddhist religious pilgrimage circuit. It is one of the sacred lakes in Sikkim and is believed to be a wish-fulfilling lake as well. An interesting feature of the lake is that leaves are not allowed to float on the lake, which is ensured by the birds that industriously pick them up as soon as they drop onto the lake surface.
Khecheopalri View Point – It’s a short climb up from the lake on the path to the Prayer Patform. The walk is through oak & chestnut forest till one reaches a hill top overlooking the entire lake and the village of Kecheopalri above it. It’s worth walking up for the views and the dense pristine forest surrounding the lake.
Renum Chu - Popularly called the Kanchenjunga falls a name given by the visitors as the water fall real name is Renum Chu. The water is the run off of the Kechopalri lake and other nearby springs. There is a bamboo & wood bridge to reach near the waterfall.
Khecheopalri Monastery – A small but beautiful Lepcha Monastery is located above the lake, this monastery is approx 30 mins uphill climb from the lake side but the view and the village around the monastery is worth the climb up.
