About Lachung and Yumthang Valley

Lachung is a picturesque mountain village in North Sikkim, situated at the confluence of the Lachen and Lachung Rivers. It serves as the base for visiting the stunning Yumthang Valley, often called the 'Valley of Flowers' of Sikkim. During spring, the valley is a riot of colors with blooming rhododendrons. In winter, it transforms into a snow-clad wonderland. The journey to Lachung itself is an adventure, with scenic landscapes and numerous waterfalls. The nearby Zero Point offers spectacular views of the snow-covered Himalayan peaks.
