Snow Lion is located at Lachung (North Sikkim,  India) having 20 rooms with hot/cold water and all basic amenities. Lachung is situated at 8610 ft above sea level and located 124 kms north of Gangtok and is known for its magnificent views of the Himalayas.

Lachung provides the base for an exploration of Yumthang (11,800 ft.) very close to the Tibetan border, Yumthang is where the treeline ends, but rhododendrons still bloom. Another hour's drive beyond Yumthang takes one to Yumesamdong (15,300 ft.), an area where the sweet fragrance of Azellia (a plant used as incense by locals) permeates the air. 

Lachung's sister village, Lachen is only a recent host to tourists. Situated at an altitude of 8,838 ft. 

Lachung is visited as a part of itinerary covering West Bengal hills and Sikkim.
