“Yumthang Valley - A guide for witnessing the beauty & magic of nature at its best”
It is popularly known as 'Valley of Flowers' and is home to the Shingba Rhododendron Sanctuary, which has over twenty-four species of the rhododendron, the state flower. Tourists may travel from Gangtok to Lachung (the nearest village where accommodation is available) and stay over night. The best season for visiting Yumthang valley starts in late February and continues up to mid June, when thousands of colourful flowers are in full bloom. However, to enjoy a clear sky and brilliant view of snow-capped mountains, the September - December season would be ideal.
