Located somewhere along the Gangtok - Lachung highway, the Seven Sister Waterfalls, true to its name, is a harmonious array of seven different cascading falls. If a single raging waterfall leaves you speechless, imagine what a cluster of seven such waterfalls will do. Its mellifluous roar is audible, and plummeting silver streaks can be seen from far off. The spot is a must-visit for couples exploring the region, and is often a highlight in many Sikkim honeymoon packages, thanks to its dramatic scenery and romantic atmosphere
The place springs to life fully during the monsoons, when the waters come raging down. Tumbling down from atop a lush green, wooded hill, the surrounding beauty of the waterfall enhances the beauty of it all. Many Gangtok tour packages include a stop here, making it easy for travellers to witness this natural marvel. The place promises you an album full of wallpaper-worthy photographs too! It is truly one of the most beautiful places to visit in Lachung.

The name is derived from the seven individual streams of water that flow down the cliff in close proximity to one another, forming a breathtaking view that resembles seven sisters flowing together in harmony.
