Khecheopalri is a sacred lake, set about 28 km away from Pelling, Sikkim. Colorful prayer flags flutter near the lake.

The best view of the lake though is seen from a vantage point about a half-an-hour climb from the lake. The Khecheopalri lake originally was known as Kha-Chot-Palri means heaven of Padmasambhava. It is considered sacred for both Hindus and Buddhists. This lake is also identified as the footprints of goddess Tara, as from a high vantage point the contours of the lake appear like a footprint. Another belief is that the footprints are of Hindu God Lord Shiva.

On its way the hillside journey will give an unforgettable experience with spectacular hillside view. One can explore here different types of birds, plants and flowers. If you feel lonely or alone throughout this journey Mt. Kanchenjungha will peep to your frame and says he is with you.
