The North East's lakes range from sacred glacial waters high in the Himalaya to unique floating-island lakes in the plains.
High-altitude sacred lakes
Gurudongmar and Tsomgo in Sikkim, and Madhuri Lake near Tawang, are revered and staggeringly beautiful, framed by snow peaks.
Lowland wonders
Manipur's Loktak Lake, with its floating phumdis, and Assam's Umiam-style reservoirs offer a very different, tranquil beauty.
