Lachung or Lachen? It's a common dilemma when planning a Himalayan trip. Here's an honest side-by-side to help you decide.
Lachung at a glance
The base for the Yumthang Valley of Flowers and Zero Point, with alpine meadows and hot springs.
Lachen at a glance
The base for Gurudongmar Lake and Chopta Valley, higher and starker than Lachung.
Which should you choose?
You don't really choose — a North Sikkim trip usually stays a night in each, with Lachung for flowers and Lachen for the high lakes.
