At 11800 ft, Yumthanng Valley Photo

Photographer’s Note

This famous valley in North Sikkim lies 140km north of Gangtok. Lachung provides the base for exploration of Yumthang, the valley of flowers. Situated at an altitude of 11800 ft ( 3564m) with a close proximity of Tibet, Yumthang is a unique place where the tree line ends.

The best season for visiting the 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.

Hello Amit,

very nice pano shot of the road and the valley here...looks like a bit oversharpened..and lost contrast on the distant peak..but the compo is really great ...and the POV worth watching..!!

Hi Amit,

I must say "WoW". What a great view of Yumthang River Valley. Yes I also feel it a bit oversharpened but believe me its a masterpiece. The compo is just perfect. You made me remember my visit to the heaven on earth...
