Losoong/Namsung: This festival is normally observed in the first week of the 11th month of the Lunar Year. The Bhutias call it 'Losoong' and the Lepchas call it 'Namsung' which means a new year celebration. The festival marks the end of the harvest season and also marks the end of the farmers year.
