LACHEN TOURISM

Lachen, meaning ‘big pass’ is a town located in the north of the district of Sikkim.

Thangu, an annual yak race held here in summer, is very famous and attracts many visitors.

The village comprises less than 200 houses.

The Lachen Gompa is worth a visit and gives you an insight to the simple lives of the villagers here.
