Firstly, the Tholung valley in North Sikkim is considered to be the spiritual and cultural center of the Lepcha people. They are indigenous to the state of Sikkim. In addition to that, from this point forward, it is a no-go area. Small communities of Lepcha people can be found scattered across the steep. Therefore, the place is heavily wooded slopes that tower over the Tholung valley. These communities are dispersed across the slopes.
