#KhecheopalriLake is a lake located near Khecheopalri village, 147 kilometres west of #Gangtok in the #WestSikkim district of the Northeastern Indian state of #Sikkim. The lake is sacred for both #Buddhists and #Hindus, and is believed to be a wish fulfilling lake. The local name for the lake is Sho Dzo Sho, which means “Oh Lady, Sit Here”. The popularly known name of the lake, considering its location is Khecheopalri Lake, ensconced in the midst of the #Khechoedpaldri hill, which is also considered a sacred hill. An interesting feature of the lake is that leaves are not allowed to float on the lake, which is ensured by the birds which industriously pick them up as soon as they drop into the lake surface.The Khecheopalri Lake and the Khangchendzonga National Park are conserved from the biodiversity perspective with ecotourism and pilgrimage as essential offshoots. As a result, their recreational and sacredness values are enhanced. https://www.instagram.com/p/CM_SLm9hgmX/?igshid=1weieney4fjoz -- source link
