Lampokhari Lake Festival Is Back — Aritar Readies for Its 13th Edition
Pakyong, March 15 : After a gap of several years, the Lampokhari Lake Festival is finally making a comeback, and the excitement around Aritar is already building up.
The Aritar–Dalapchand Lampokhari Lake Tourism Development Society (ADLDS) kicked things off last Saturday with its first coordination meeting, held right at the picnic ground next to the lake. SDM of Rongli, Suren Kumar Pradhan, chaired the meeting and made one thing clear — this festival isn't just an event on a calendar. It belongs to the people living around it, and their involvement will make or break it.
After the meeting wrapped up, ADLDS president Lalit Rai, general secretary Bibek Rai, and advisor Canny Gurung spoke to the press and confirmed the dates: March 27 and 28 for the two-day 13th edition of the festival. They also shared some encouraging news — the Ministry of Tourism, Government of India has given its in-principle approval, and the Tourism and Civil Aviation Department of the Sikkim government is backing the event as well.
This year, the festival will run under the theme "Promoting Agro Tourism." Local farmers will get dedicated stalls to display and sell their organic produce — a genuine attempt to weave sustainable agriculture into the tourism experience, rather than treating it as an afterthought.
