We travelled from Mumbai to Gangtok and on the same day booked our Tsomgo and Baba mandir Cab a local agent at MG Road.
For Tsomgo lake you need a permit and your local agent will help you get the permit.
Requirements includes 2 Passport size photo, your Sikkim eCard and Adhaar card.
Tsomgo lake is about 40-45 Kms from Gangtok and it takes about 1.5-2 hours to reach there. BRO did an excellent job with the new road. The entire route is very scenic but filled with many hairpin turns. Make sure you only take a light breakfast.
There are many shops on the way where you can rent winter gears. The temperate at Tsomgo was around -7 degree and since it is located at high altitude you can feel heaviness is breathing. Our driver bhaiya advised us to keep having water, coffee and popcorn.
We were amazed by the beauty of Tsomgo lake. After spending sometime at the lake we went to Baba Mandir.
You can also go to Nathula pass which is India - China border but we chose not to visit there since it is just a checkpost. Also Nathula is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays so plan accordingly.
Tsomgo is a must visit place if you are visiting Sikkim.
