the confluence of Lachen and Lachung
Chu and the starting point of River Teesta, has emerged as a major
sub-division settlement in North Sikkim. It is the nodal junction
for the two passes, Lachen and Lachung.

left behind by the Patron Saint.
The place rich in bio diversity with a large variety of orchids,
plants and wildlife, is 95 kms from Gangtok, 23 kms from Lachung,
