Lachung in March
Sikkim, India
Go if you tolerate cold and crowds thin. March scores 4/5—snow still crowns Zero Point, rhododendrons are waking, but daytime highs barely reach 14°C.
Peak crowds
March is one of Lachung's busiest months. The score rates conditions — weather, access, value — not how many people you'll share them with. April rhododendron bloom is peak. Dec-Feb for snow. Monsoon road closures common. All visits via package tours.
March opens North Sikkim seriously — Zero Point has reliable snow, Yumthang is accessible, and the valley begins greening.
The March story
March delivers snow + greenery combination. Zero Point (4,572m) guarantees snow play. Yumthang Valley is brown-turning-green. The drive through gorges is dramatic. Package tours in full swing.
Why March scores 8.0/10
Weather
