Lhonak Lake

News: Recently, there was a catastrophic event at Lhonak Lake. On October 4, 2023, a sudden cloudburst event over the glacial South Lhonak Lake caused it to rupture.

About:
• Lhonak Lake is a glacial lake located in the pristine landscapes of North Sikkim, at an altitude of approximately 17,000 feet above sea level. The formation of this lake is attributed to the melting glaciers of the region, a process accelerated by rising global temperatures.
• An area equivalent to 105 hectares, or nearly 65% of the lake, was drained out between September 28 and October 4 as a result of the waterbody bursting.

Other lakes in Sikkim:
• Menmecho Lake and Khecheopalri Lake.
