Lachung Tourist Places: A Snow Capped Masterpiece

Lachung is a serene mountain village in the northern part of Sikkim, 2,600 meters above sea level-an ideal retreat for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike. The breathtaking natural beauty and peaceful surroundings are renowned all over the world for their beautiful snow-clad peaks, cascading waterfalls, and picturesque green valleys.

Indeed, it is the gateway to the famous Yumthang Valley, also called the "Valley of Flowers." The village is a riot of colors with a carpet of wildflowers, particularly rhododendrons, in the spring time and is considered one of the most scenic spots in the region. The valley is also associated with the Yumthang Hot Springs, said to have a high sulfur content, hence considered to be medicinal for the body.

Lachung is an ideal place for the traveler who wishes to spend solitude with nature and not amidst the crowded tourist flow.
