Khecheopalri Lake is situated at the meeting place of the roads to Gyalshing and Yoksum in West Sikkim. Set at 6,400 feet above sea level, the lake brims with crystal-clear water, encircled by a dense forest. Local legend has it that not even a falling leaf is allowed to mar the beauty of the idyllic lake- a watchful bird will clear it away! Khecheopalri means wish fulfilling lake and the Sikkimese people hold it scared. The Khecheopalri Monastery is just a 10- minute walk from the Lake.

Trek up one and half km. Khecheopalri Lake will appear as a footprint, pure and pristine. Maybe it is the Almighty’s footsteps!
