Yumthang Valley felt like a giant alpine garden. Rhododendrons were blooming across the hills, and the river flowed through green meadows surrounded by snow peaks. I spent the day walking short trails, tasting local food, and enjoying the fresh mountain air. This valley is often called the Valley of Flowers of Sikkim for good reason.
Sunrise at Tsomgo Lake
Last week, I reached Tsomgo Lake before sunrise and watched the first light hit the frozen water. The mountains turned golden, and the silence was unforgettable. Local vendors served hot tea while yaks waited for visitors. If you’re planning a Sikkim travel itinerary, Tsomgo Lake is best experienced early in the morning. Carry warm clothes, as temperatures drop quickly even outside winter. The drive from Gangtok offers stunning views throughout the journey.
