The district is the largest of the four districts of Sikkim. Temperatures range from about 25° to below −40°. The cold temperatures are in the extreme high reaches where the altitude is in excess of 6,000 metres. Kanchenjanga is the highest peak at over 8,000 m. The mountain is on the western border with Nepal. It can be seen clearly from the town of Singhik.

Part of Khangchendzonga National Park is in the district. Lachen is a town in Mangan District in the Indian state of Sikkim. The name Lachen means "big pass". The Sikkimese government promotes it as a tourist destination. The town forms the base to the Chopta Valley and Gurudongmar Lake. An annual yak race, the Thangu is held there in summer.

Unlike other places in India, Lachen has a unique form of self-governance, Dzumsa. Every household is a member of this traditional administrative system, which is in charge of governing and organizing village activities.

The Lachen monastery and the women's handicraft centre to view the weaving of traditional blankets and carpets reveal the local way of life. Gurudongmar Lake at 17,800 ft elevation is encircled by snowy massifs.Thangu offers accommodations 30 km from Lachen. During summer and monsoon, it is dotted with flowers.

The relatively unexplored and untouched Chopta Valley is located north of Lachen. Rich with alpine vegetation and rhododendrons, lakes, and rivers add to the valley's beauty. Chopta is known for its historical and religious monuments. Wildlife enthusiasts can spot rare species. Bird watching is popular and the region is suitable for trekking and other adventure sports.

Lachung is a town and hill station in Mangan district in northeast Indian state of Sikkim. It is approx. 50 km Mangan town, the district headquarters. It is located in the Mangan district near the border with Tibet. Lachung is at an elevation of about 9,600 feet (2,900 m) and at the confluence of the Lachen and Lachung Rivers, both tributaries of the River Teesta. The word Lachung means "small pass". The town is approximately 125 kilometres (78 mi) from the capital Gangtok.

The Indian Army has a forward base in the town. Before the Chinese occupation of Tibet in 1950, Lachung was a trading post between Sikkim and Tibet, after which it was closed down. The town's economy has been boosted by tourism in recent years as the region has been opened up by the Indian government. Tourists come from all over the world to visit the town between October and May, mostly on their way to the Yumthang Valley and the Lachung Monastery. Most of Lachung's inhabitants are of Lepcha and Tibetan descent. Languages spoken here are Nepali, Lepcha and Bhutia. During winter the town is usually covered in snow. Lachung is also the base camp for Rhododendron Valley Trek which starts from Yumthang Valley and ends at Lachen Valley.

Lachung has been described as the "most picturesque village of Sikkim" by British explorer Joseph Dalton Hooker in his definitive, The Himalayan Journal (1855). Skiing is conducted in Phuni near this town.
