Yumthang Valley and Zero Point, Lachung, Skkim
Another video from our Sikkim trip (May 2019) about Lachung.
Lachung is a small hill town in Northern Sikkim (Elevation 9600 ft) near the Tibet border. Located near the confluence of rivers - Lachen and Lachung tributaries of Teesta, Lachung (means 'small pass' )was on the trade route between Tibet and India
The town serves as a pitstop for visit to Yumthang Valley and Zero Point.
Lachung has been described as the most picturesque village of Sikkim by British explorer Joseph Dalton Hooker in his book, The Himalayan Journal (1855).. and we cannot agree more!
Yumthang, popularly known as the 'Sikkim's valley of Flowers' is home to the Shingba Rhododendron Sanctuary. It lies on the way from Lachung to Zero Point and is a must get down from the car and spend 2 hours kinda place.At Yumthang, you will find 24 varieties of Rhododendron flowers, many Yaks, prayer flags, a mountain stream and happiness! Please be mindful of the fragile ecology.
Yume Samdong is located around 26 kms beyond Yumthang Valley and takes around 3 hours to reach from Lachung. The place is often referred to as 'Zero Point' as there is no motor-able road beyond this place where tourists are allowed due to its proximity with the Chinese border. Nonetheless, this mountain top is flocked by tourists to enjoy the snow in any season. One can also enjoy piping hot snacks and drinks at the spot.
