Four Lake Point

The Four Lake Point located at an altitude of 13600 feet on the way to Menmecho from Gangtok gives a panoramic view of the endless stretches of the barren Tibetan plateau with four emerald lakes dotted within the horizon.

The nearest two lakes are called Jorpokahri (twin lakes), the middle one is called Green Lake (not the one in North Sikkim) and the farthest one is Kupup Lake (also known as Elephant Lake or Bitang Cho) at 13066 feet above sea level. From the viewpoint of the Four Lake Point, Kupup Lake is almost 16 kms away in the horizon. This is an amazing viewpoint which introduces the travellers for the first time with the “nothingness” of the Tibetan Plateau.
