The trekking
in north Sikkim holds lots of restrictions due to the rich
concentration of Herbs and medicinal valued plants. Most of the
Northern Sikkim portions are fall under RAP or PAP and National
parks. But this particular trek route is one of the most
tempting. The highest point one climb is Lhaba-Pass (4300m) the
best part is one can start the trek from either side. It can be
start from Tarum Chachu (HOT SPRING) and trek end at Youmthang
in Lachung, or Start from Youmthang Lachung and then finish at
Tarum chachu in Lachen side.
