The Green Lake Trek is an exceptional journey situated near Lachen in the North Sikkim district of India. Laced with a tapestry of rich biodiversity and stunning landscapes, it is a popular destination for trekkers and nature lovers. The trek trail runs through the Kanchenjunga National Park and offers an up-close view of the Zemu Glacier. As trekkers ascend, they're greeted by the magnificent sight of the eastern part of Kanchenjunga and other Himalayan peaks. Due to its remote location, the Green Lake Trek remains unspoiled and less frequented, which preserves its serene beauty. The route passes through dense forested areas, meadows dotted with vibrant flora during spring, and several interesting Lepcha villages, giving insights into the local culture. It's essential to be prepared for varying weather conditions as the trek climbs through different climatic zones. A special permit is required for trekking, which also mandates a certified guide to accompany visitors due to its proximity to the international border.
