KHECHEOPALRI LAKE
Khecheopalri
lake is considered as one of the sacred lakes of this state both by the
Buddhist and the Hindus. The lake remains hidden in the rich forest cover.
It is believed that the birds do not permit even a single leaf to float
on the lake surface. There is a motorable road from Pemayangtse right
up to the lake area.
For
those interested in spending a night or two in the peaceful environment
a trekkers hut has been provided by the tourism
office. The hut is presently managed by a local person and provides
comfortable stay providing a taste of local cuisine which may include 'chang'
brew made of fermented millet. There is also a pilgrim's hut, managed by
the tourism department , which is meant to provide accommodation to the
people who come on pilgrim tours.
