Overview

The journey typically begins from the bustling hill town of Gangtok, but as travelers head north, the atmosphere begins to shift dramatically.Along the way, one is greeted by thundering waterfalls cascading from great heights, dense forests of pine and rhododendron, and deep, echoing gorges that cut through the earth like ancient scars.

Once ruled by local tribal councils known as ‘Zumsa’, Lachung retains a strong sense of community and tradition, seen in its wooden homes, fluttering prayer flags, and the revered Lachung Monastery, which stands as a cultural heart of the village.
