Phusrey Lake & Mulkharga- LAND OF AESTHETIC BEAUTY


Phusrey Lake is one of the sanctified lakes of sikkim. It is situated few miles away from Aritar, a 4 hrs. walk from Aritar for an average hiker. Phusrey Lake is renowned for is spirituality and plasidity. Amidst the dense forest where chirping of birds echoes the serene atmosphere indeed captivates our soul with aesthetic sensation. One can enjoy the peaceful, lush green verdant hills and spectacular atmosphere of this lake. One of the unique features of this lake is the “Half Drowned Tree”, which lies in the middle of the lake, almost half submerged into the water. This tree has been drooping there since many decades, but the mystery is that neither the tree is growing nor it is decaying. The term Phusrey in colloquial means grayish or dull in colour, The Lake which is surrounded by verdant is usually grey and dry due to the freezing mists and snow; hence, in the due course the lake may have evolved with the term Phusrey.
Mulkharge: a place located near Phusrey Lake is indeed an exquisite example of nature's beauty and an ideal place for trekking. The place is usually engulfed with mists and fogs, where chilly gusts of wind with the taste of rain blow over the place. Mulkharga, is a local Nepali term meaning Pasture for grazing herd. A vast stretched area of land mostly covered with verdant facilitates fodder for the herds. Cattles grazing all over the pasture, with the singing of herdsman from distant echoing is the usual pictures one confronts with.
