ABOUT YUMTHANG VALLEY

A valley at a high altitude of 3564m/12000 ft, Yumthang is a paradise for those who need a visual and experiential break from the typical sights and sounds of an everyday life in a city. Yumthang is the antidote to the concrete jungles and virtual deserts.

BEST TIME TO VISIT

The best time to visit is the flowering season(MARCH,APRIL,MAY & JUNE), when nature spreads out its infinite carpet of flowers of all colors and shades. Before this flowering season it is too cold and there is a white snow cover everywhere. Nights are usually very cool in Yumthang, so visitors are advised to carry light to heavy woollens depending on the time of the year. Autumn is also pleasant in the valley, though the floral paradise is not in bloom yet. Monsoon is the time when landslides can temporarily damage roads and stop incoming traffic. Winters witness heavy snowfall.

WHY THIS VALLEY IS SO BEAUTIFUL

This valley is surrounded by snowy mountains and full of valley flowers in the season.A river with crystal clear water in the valley adds an extra beauty in it.
