Seven Sisters Waterfall drops in a series of tiers down a forested cliff right beside the North Sikkim Highway. From the road you see the lower cascades; the higher ones are hidden above. A small viewing area, tea stalls and a bridge make it the usual first stop on the drive to Lachung or Lachen.
When to go
The falls are fullest in and just after the monsoon, from June to October; in winter the flow drops to thin streams. Since it's on the way north, every North Sikkim trip passes it.
