Lachung Weather In October

Be enchanted by the valleys of Lachung in October

Lachung is a quaint hill station in Sikkim that is ten thousand feet above the sea level and at a close proximity to the Bay of Bengal. The weather here is always cool and pleasant, but autumns and winters are a different pleasure to witness in Lachung.

If you are a fan of feeling your cheeks and ears flush against cold breeze, October is the perfect month for you to plan a visit to Lachung. The autumn season is just setting in, which makes the temperature drop considerably. The premature phase of winters in October brings with it a pleasant chill that is very enjoyable. You won’t be uncomfortable because of frigid temperatures and you can visit most of the tourist spots without worrying about roads being blocked due to heavy snowfall. You will be blessed with light sprinkles of snow if the time is just right.

Everything about Lachung in October takes up a dream-like quality; the light dusting of snow, the mountains building their snow-caps and the cold breeze make travelling less tiring than they are during the summers. The overall temperature stays between a minimum of 10 Degrees Celsius and a maximum of 16 degrees. Carrying woollen jackets and warm socks will be the best idea if you want to enjoy a comfortable stay at Lachung in October.

The mountains offer you a breath-taking view with its imposing scenery. If you visit Zero Point, you will definitely find snow-capped mountains. Perhaps, October is the best time to visit Zero point and Gurudongmar Lake. The trip to Gurudongmar Lake could get a bit exhausting for you as descending from the high altitude usually hits people with effects of motion sickness. The cold air will make you feel a lot better than visiting North-Sikkim in the summers, but it is always advisable to carry a first aid kit and some headache relievers.

You can also enjoy your experience at Yumthang Valley. The temperature there hits a minimum of 11 degrees Celsius, which is rather very pleasant. The valley is still green and has a lot of flowers to add to the freshness of the entire landscape.

Apart from tourism, there are many flea and local markets that you can visit. Lachung is famous for its woollen wear. You can buy colourful sweaters, mats, and quilts for yourselves. There are also places that teach you the art of traditional weaving, which is an interesting skill to learn.

All in all, autumns at Lachung are more than beautiful and offer you a lot of things to do as a tourist. The weather is such that you can easily sight-see without any delay and interruptions due to heavy snowfall and can stick to your schedule of covering the North-Eastern state of Sikkim on time.

The perfect vacation for a completely relaxing experience awaits you at Lachung in the month of October!
