North Sikkim: Lachung & Lachen in March
The thaw begins. Yumthang usually reopens and snow still lies in the valley, which is what many Indian families come for. The first rhododendrons flower at lower heights by late March. Days lengthen, and Gurudongmar tours resume as the road clears, though the lake itself stays frozen. Holi week and school holidays bring a rush from the plains, so book early.
Local tip: If you want snow and flowers together, aim for the last ten days of March.
