The monsoon arrives. Yumthang turns green with primulas and wildflowers, but landslides close the North Sikkim Highway often, sometimes for days, and many operators stop selling Lachen. We do not recommend North Sikkim trips from mid-June. Phodong and Kabi remain possible as short trips from Gangtok.
