Many people believe that Cholamu lake is the source of river
Teesta , which is not completely true, actually river Teesta
originates from a smaller glacial lake Khangchung (some 100 -
200 feet farther from Cholamu lake) . Cholamu lake is very
near to Gurudongmar lake (45 Mins drive).
Cholamu or Tso-Lhamu lake is six km away from Gurudongmar lake
at an elevation of 17400 ft. This could be termed as the main
origin of the river Lachen Chhu, one of the two main
tributaries of the Teesta. The stream from this lake joins the
one coming out of the Gurudongmar Lake to form the Lachen Chhu.
It is the highest lake in India. Just on the southern side of
the Lake is the Dongkia La Pass which stands between the Cold
Tso-Lhamu desert and the Yumthang Valley.
