Yarlam Resort
premium
Yarlam stands on a slope above Lachung, looking down over the town and across the valley, with fir and rhododendron forest around it. Guidebooks and travel writers have long described it as the most luxurious place to stay in Lachung. It has 27 rooms and 3 suites in a single large building, a spa, a gym, a games room and a restaurant, the Guras, for resident guests, serving North Indian, Chinese and continental food.
For North Sikkim, where most rooms are simple, the difference is warmth, space and service after a long, cold day. That matters most to couples on a honeymoon, older travellers and families who want one comfortable night before or after the dawn run to Yumthang. Like every hotel in the valley, it depends on the road being open, and it was affected by the closures of 2023–2025. Check current status before you travel.
Why we like it
- The most comfortable rooms in Lachung, with valley views
- Spa and in-house restaurant after the long drive
- Quiet hillside location away from the highway
Watch out for
It sits above the main village, so you depend on the hotel or your driver for transport, and rates are several times those of family hotels nearby.
