North Sikkim: Lachung & Lachen in June
The monsoon arrives and with it the landslide season on the North Sikkim road. Closures that strand travellers in Lachung for days have happened in June more than once. Some tours still run when the road is open, and the high valleys turn green with alpine flowers, but we do not plan trips here in June. Dzongu is wet and leech-heavy.
Local tip: If you must go, keep two buffer days and travel insurance that covers delays.
