About Yumthang Valley

Yumthang Valley is a high-altitude valley in North Sikkim near Lachung, known for alpine meadows, the Lachung Chu river, hot springs and spring rhododendron blooms inside the Shingba Rhododendron Sanctuary area. The official Mangan district listing places it around 3,564 m above sea level and about 150 km from Gangtok by the Gangtok-Mangan-Lachung route.

💡Why Visit?

Visit Yumthang for Sikkim mountain scenery that feels remote yet reachable with a planned Lachung overnight, especially during the spring flower season.
