Lachung Monastery feels intimate, colorful, and deeply Himalayan—set against dramatic mountains with prayer flags and quiet courtyards. The atmosphere is peaceful and “village-rooted,” making it a perfect cultural stop while exploring North Sikkim. Visitors enjoy the blend of spiritual calm and high-altitude beauty, and it’s especially lovely when the valley is misty or snow-touched.
About this place
History & highlights
Lachung’s religious institutions grew alongside the valley’s long-standing Buddhist culture and trans-Himalayan movement of traditions. The monastery represents the way highland communities preserved spiritual identity through monastic life, keeping rituals, festivals, and local belief systems active even as the region opened gradually to wider tourism.
