Rhodos are the most beautiful in bunches - Red and Pink ones. When we got there, it had snowed, all along the way we took photos on trees covered with light snow. The valley was itself also covered in snow, so everyone was playing in it. More

Though we visited Yumthang Valley in end April, it started snowing as we reached the valley. It was still very scenic as the purple dots across the valley marked the purple flowers and the white dots all over was the snow fall. The river running right through the valley also adds to the charm of the place. Though, do not... More

The roar of the avalanche is something I will always remember.Yumthang is... More

It was peak winters when we visited this valley with breathtaking views. Well what people often call the main attraction-rhododendrons-well we couldn't see any.

The landscape is just like in Switzerland or maybe even better. We stayed at Lachung overnight before setting off to Yumthang. However, we were too early in the season for the summer rhododendron blooming over the whole valley. On the we did pass many fields with rhododendron and explored these places. The valley in itself did not have the flowers... More
