9/50: Did you know this place in Sikkim has snow❄️ all year round?

#ZostelTop50 brings to you, #Yumthang Valley, a treasure trove of natural wonders? in #NorthSikkim. Located 138 km from Sikkim, it’s close proximity with Indo-Tibetan border? makes it a restricted zone so be sure to obtain a special permit? from #Gangtok to explore it.

Blessed with cold weather?️ throughout the year, spring turns the valley into a carpet of rhododendrons,? stretching as far as the eye can see. And you can best see them at
the Shingba Rhododendron Sanctuary which houses over 40 species of these flowers along with rare birds? such as wood snipe and hoary-throated barwing.
?️Best time to visit: April to July

The last outpost of civilisation, Zero Point is a confluence of 3 rivers? & the mountains here remain covered in snow for the whole year.? Fascinating, right??

?Pro tip: Accommodations ?can only be arranged in Lachung village, located 25 km from Yumthang.

Make your plans right away & guess what the next #ZostelTop50 will be??
