We continue the photo tour of a journey through the beautiful Indian state of Sikkim. We present this journey in four parts, with this part dedicated to Yumthang Valley of Flowers in North Sikkim. The first part of this tour (to Gurudongmar Lake) is available at    • Trip to Gurudongmar Lake: Part 1 of Journe...  

In our previous episode, we had returned from Gurudongmar to the town of Chungthang and then proceeded to the hamlet of Lachung which is a picturesque village embraced by snow capped mountain peaks, breathtaking waterfalls, sparkling streams of Lachung chi river and orchards of apple, peaches and apricots. The mesmerizing journey to Yumthang passes through valleys and hills covered with forests of Rhodorendron forests and with snow capped mountains in the background.

The Yumthang valley itself is covered with wildflowers, with conifers covering the hill slopes and the river gurgling through the valley. The views are simply spellbinding. One can also visit the zero point at an elevation of 5000 metres which is the last point allowed for civilians before the International border with China begins. On one's way back to Lachung, one can visit the permafrost base of mount Katao and enjoy the views of the Katao peak and lush vegetation all around.

On the return journey from Lachung to Gangtok, one can visit the extremely beautiful Singhik view point and the monasteries of Labrang and Phodong as well as the beautiful Seven Sisters waterfall.

Our next episode will cover the beautiful city of Gangtok and its surrounding tourist attractions.
