North Sikkim

"Discover the North Sikkim Beauty"

The North District of Sikkim is the seventh least populous district in the world. Spanning across an area of 4,226 square kilometers, it is a visual treat, waiting to be explored by the senses. Sitting at an elevation of approximately two thousand feet above the sea level, the entire region sports the growth of emerald alpines. As we progress further to the north, the pines thin down to pave way for the dry tundra vegetation that grows beneath the towering mountains. As you travel to the southern fringes, the area becomes relatively warmer and more densely inhabited.
Dotted with some of the most majestic mountains, North Sikkim shelters the Khangchendzonga National Park, which is sprawled across an area of 1,784 square kilometers. It is home to a rich reserve of the exotic Red Panda, who is an extremely rare species & the state animal of Sikkim.

Gurudongmar Lake

Blessed by both Guru Padmasambhava & Guru Nanak, this lake is the site for the Sarva Dharma Sthal. One of the most beautiful high-altitude lakes in India, which gets frozen like a pristine surface of the mirror.

Yumthang Valley of Flowers

This beautiful valley is a treat to the eyes during spring, when the pastures get entirely blanketed in rhododendron blooms of every imaginable color. Ferns, wild orchids, and magnolias flood the vegetation as well.

Lachen & Lachung
