Located in the northern part of Sikkim is the Yumthang Valley. It is a
beautiful land where you can often see locals grazing their sheep. Situated at
an altitude of about 14,000 feet, the valley is blessed with more than 20
species of beautiful rhododendrons during the summer season. A beautiful stream
of river flows through the valley, adding to the charm of the place. While the
valley remains closed in the winter months because of heavy snowfall, it is
pure delight during the summer months. The best way to reach the valley is to
reach Lachung and then take an early morning trip to the valley. Don’t risk
travelling late in the day, because the sun sets really quickly in this part of
the country, and it gets foggy too.
