Lachen in March
Sikkim, India
Gurudongmar Lake, the main draw, typically remains snowbound and inaccessible in March
Peak crowds
March is one of Lachen's busiest months. The score rates conditions — weather, access, value — not how many people you'll share them with. North Sikkim gateway peaks in spring (Mar–May) and autumn (Oct–Nov) when roads open and weather is mild; summer monsoon and winter snow make it inaccessible.
March Lachen is the first exhale after winter. Snow melts, the river swells, and guesthouse owners start airing out rooms.
The March story
Late March can surprise with an early opening of the Gurudongmar road. Ask locally, not online.
