I clearly temember that when i went to Lachung in the month of May i expirienced snowfall and that lake was frozen . As of high atlitude of 12000 ft . it becomes difficult to breathe due to low oxygen levels . Hence, it is highly recommendable not to visit the place in the month of January as even the locals come down to lower atitudes during these days. Yet if you want to expirience cold then you should pay a visit in the month of March. Happy Travelling !
You must check with the travel agencies in Sikkim whether the roads to Yumthang and all are open or not. As due to heavy snowfall, sometimes the roads get blocked.
Please do check and then plan.
Hi, Iam also planning on the same period to sikkim, but mostly travel planner i discussed they suggested to avoid North sikkim tour , Yumthang valley/Gurdongmar lake/ even Zuluk is not accessible as they suggested , is it true !!
