Sikkim sees some of the highest tourist numbers in October and November. North Sikkim boasts of some of the most spellbinding views of the Himalayas. The village of Lachung, in particular, is a prominent fixture in tourist itineraries, especially because it serves as a gateway to the high-altitude Yumthang Valley. However, due to the recent incident of flash floods in the region, travellers had to cancel their plans. In a recent announcement, tourism authorities said that several roads have been restored and Lachung has been made accessible.
