Lachen means ‘big pass’ while Lachung means ‘small pass’ and both the towns are along the border of Tibet. Amazing hill station amidst the tranquility of mountains.
The mesmerizing beauty of the small Lachen town makes this place a prominent tourist destination in the North Sikkim. The stunning landscape with the quaint monasteries, ethnic villages, beautiful alpine plantation and white snowy mountain caps offer the great panoramic view of the Lachen city. The scenic beauty of Lachung has its own distinct charm with the amazing large stretch of flower garden known as the valley of flowers, Yumthang valley, hot spring and quaint monastery, etc.
