North Sikkim: Lachung & Lachen in November
Cold and very clear. Autumn colour peaks in Lachung's valley in early November, Gurudongmar begins to freeze, and the crowds thin after Diwali. Mornings are sharp, especially in Lachen before the Gurudongmar run. Good value: rooms drop back to normal rates and shared tours still fill.
Local tip: Carry a down jacket for the Gurudongmar start at 4 am, when it is well below freezing.
