Lachen is positioned at 2,600 m elevation in North Sikkim district and translates to a big mountain pass. Few hotels within the valley serve tourists with standard amenities. Upon traversing further, Lachung is 46 kilometers (approx.) at 2,700 m (approx.) elevation. Lachung means small mountain pass.
