The Lampokhari Lake also known as Aritar Lake lies in the East Sikkim district. It is a 4-hour drive from Gangtok, the capital of Sikkim. Lampokhari Lake is all about natural beauty and is said to be one of the oldest lakes in Sikkim. Located at an altitude of 4600 feet above sea level, the Lake is picturesque and exudes serenity. At first glance, the emerald hue of the lake takes your breath away. Surrounding it is a lush green pine forest, which only heightens its beauty. There is also a beautiful pathway around the lake, which allows tourists to have a brief walk around it, soak in the mesmerizing surroundings, and take some Instagram-worthy pictures. A small shrine dedicated to Guru Padmasambha is situated beside the lake.

A main attraction for tourists here is the boating facility, a first in Sikkim. One can get lost in nature while moving around the tranquil waters. You get the feeling of floating in the lap of mother nature and finding peace and solace in the greenery the place holds in ample amount.
