Of all the beautiful places to visit, you probably wouldn't come across a lovelier spot than when you take Yumthang tours.
Based in North Sikkim in the middle of the famous Himalaya Mountains, the Yumthang valley would perhaps qualify as the place to be, if you're looking for the serene calm and tranquility.
Located about 150 kilometers from Sikkim's capital of Gangtok, the valley is a good 1400 meters above sea level. Home to the famous Shingba Rhododendron Sanctuary, this valley attracts a lot of people looking to take full advantage of the Yumthang packages.
However you decide to travel there, you need to start the Yumthang tours bright and early. The name stands for 'the ultimate paradise' and features some of the greenest sceneries on their valleys characterized by high peaks. If you decide the take any Yumthang packages, which you should, then try and pick a suitable period between April and June. This isn't just a tip to catch the best weather in town. It's much better than that.
During the months of April, May, and June, the Rhododendrons blossom to their seasonal peaks and fill the valley with an explosive array of color and vivid bright beauty. To add to that, there are even Alpine and Primula flowers which make the valley look like a free style painter's canvas.
Bear in mind, a part of the Yumthang Packages is the Hot Spring which continues to wow the visitors since it was first discovered. Its rich sulphur content makes it an even bigger attraction than your average natural sauna.
Now suppose you were to pick the winter time from November to January, you might miss out the color fest of the various flowers blossoming all over the place, but you will have an alternate treat in store. The majestic valley tops and the peaks around it are visibly covered in snow during this period giving it the unique winter aesthetic and well, a soothing sight for your eye.
There are some tricks you need to follow through when going for the Yumthang packages. You can't just travel directly there and stay because there aren't any places to do that in there. People usually travel from Gangtok to Lachung as part of Yumthang tours. Lachung is the village nearest to Yumthang with available accommodation.
Don't just drive there on your own, rent a car from expert navigators in the area. Make an early start as it's a 2-3 hour journey and you want to get back by the end of the day. Else the roads get foggy, it gets dark soon, and well, your trip might just get spoilt!
