The entrance of #JawaharCircle is through the #PatrikaGate, which has been designed beautifully. If you ever feel the need to get back in touch with the traditional side of #Jaipur but are scared to go to the crowded walled city because of the traffic, this is the place to visit. This gate has been made keeping in mind the other 7 gates which are present in the walled city.
#TsomgoLake, also known as #TsongmoLake or #ChanguLake, is a riot of colours, and takes different forms in different seasons.

At a distance of 38 km from #Gangtok, #Tsomgo, meaning source of water in Bhutanese, lies at an altitude of 3,779 m, on the way to Nathu la Pass.
