Gurudongmar: A Lake among the Peaks

At an altitude of 17,000 ft, the magnificent Gurudongmar is one of the world’s highest lakes. Apart from being a major source of the river Teesta, lifeline to Sikkim and North Bengal, the lake shelters diverse life, including the first recorded amphibian found at this altitude. Can this life-giving lake of the Tibetan plateau weather the impacts of climate change?
