Lachung River
Lachung, Sikkim, IndiaAbout
River Lachung has its source in a lake, deep in the mountains of the Himalaya near the Indo-China border. The ragged reaches of the mountain make this place almost inaccessible. From there, the river flows down in a south-westerly direction and joins with another unknown river at a place just above the Lachung village. The tributary river is also a slender one with little water in the winters. The river continues its course downwards through the ethereal Lachung valley till it meets River Lachen near Chungthang. After the confluence, it takes the name of River Teesta and flows further down.
