The khecheopalri lake is considered to be one of the sacred lakes of Sikkim. The lake remains hidden in the rich forest cover. It is believed that birds do not permit even a single leaf to float on the khecheopalri lake surface. There is a motorable road from Pelling (about 27km) right up to the lake area.

There is also a walking trail from Pelling to khecheopalri (5 hours). It is possible to trek to Yuksom from khecheopalri (4 hours).

For those interested in spending a night or two in this place, there is a trekkers' hut around. There is also a pilgrim's hut meant to provide accommodations to the people who come on pilgrimage tours to khecheopalri. Local people also provide accommodation to tourists.

This place is popular among trekkers. The sacred lake or khecheopalri lies in a depression surrounded by prayer flags and forested hills. By the lakeshore is the small Lepcha village of Tsojo, and about 1.5km above the lake is the khecheopalri Gompa.
