Staying in Mangan
Mangan sits at approximately 950 metres (3,100 feet) and is the headquarters of North Sikkim, the main gateway to Lachung, Lachen, Yumthang Valley and Gurudongmar Lake. The population is predominantly Lepcha, Bhutia and Nepali, and the area is known for its cardamom and orange cultivation. Monasteries and temples, including the Mangan Monastery and the Pathing Monastery, reflect the region's Buddhist heritage. The climate is temperate, with warm summers and cool winters, and the monsoon brings heavy rainfall. Accommodation here is limited to a handful of hotels and guesthouses, mostly simple and geared towards transit visitors; the town has a hospital, a few shops and restaurants, and a checkpoint for permits required for travel beyond Mangan.
The hotels on this shortlist are spread across the area. Several sit in Lachung and Lachen, the villages further north that have a concentration of hotels and are popular with tourists exploring the high valleys: Rufina Lachung Deezong, Rufina Lachung Kunga, Udaan Tashi Gakhil Resort, Delight Royal Lachung, Le Coxy Resort, Summit Alpine Resort, Hotel Lachung Continental and Summit Khangri Karpo Retreat and Spa. Others stand on Gurudongmar Road, such as Rufina Lachen Deezong and Magellan's The Grand Lachen. Around Mangan itself you find Rufina Blue Pine, Tenzing Retreat, Snow Retreat and Munlom Nature Resort in Dzongu.
