It's one of the oldest natural lakes in Sikkim, and interestingly it is shaped like a boot (much like Italy!). Lampokhri Lake (aka, Aritar Lake) lies next to the Aritar village in East Sikkim, nestled at the heart of a dense pine forest. This brilliant emerald lake is looked after by the army, but you can boat around or feed birds around here. You can get an arial view of the lake by trekking 2km uphill to the viewpoint.
