    Wish-fullfilling lake in West Sikkim
    In West Sikkim, not far from the small town of Pelling and the trekkers hub of Yuksom is a beautiful lake which is sacred for both Hindus and Buddhists.
    There are numerous stories that add to the mysticism of this place but the primary source is the shape of the lake which, when viewed from above, resembles a footprint.
    Local Buddhists have a story that this comes from the goddess Tara and the lake is her footprint, although there is also a suggestion it is the print of the Buddha himself.
    Hindus meanwhile associate this with Shiva's foot.
    Whichever footprint it may be, the lake is considered a blessing and a wish-fullfilling place so it is treated in a most holy way.
    The jetty to the water is surrounded by prayer wheels and ends with a small shrine. Hundreds of fish gather by the end of the pontoon, waiting to be fed by visitors, creating a living layer of movement as they slither and slide around each other.
