We visited this beautiful valley during our North Sikkim tour with a stay at Lachung. Dubbed, Sikkim’s valley of Flowers, the place blooms with rhododendrons during the spring blooms.
The place is surrounded by snow capped peaks on all sides constantly aided by the sounds of the flowing Lachung river and the cold winds at 12000 ft.
Quite a peaceful retreat and a recommended break from the bustling city noises.

The views of the valley with mountains on either side with snow covering them and roads with turns that lead up and down gives an experience as one feels in the mountainous regions outside india.

Better to visit during March - April as the valley is full of Rhodendron flowers. During June, it was much barren.

Visited the place by May end, the spring flowers had disappeared by then. But Athe valley was green with Yumgtang chu flowing cutting across and Yaks grazing. It’s a photographers paradise. April time would be ideal I feel. The view and experience could vary based on season and the weather of the hour. But I bet the place will have its beauty in all weather throughout. The drive to the place from Lachung city is also breath taking. One gets to see the snow peaks as in the tobleron e chocolate cover. Never to be missed. The hot spring is walkable from here.

Lovely place. Great opportunities for taking photographs. Unfortunately we couldnt see a lot of flowers in late May. The valley is breathtakingly beautiful. Make an effort to go close to the river and be there for some time. Majestic.

Such a lovely place! They call this place as valley of flowers, since we visited in the month of May just before monsoon, we couldn't witness that much yet I would recommend this place for it's beautiful and wonderful landscape. We started bit early around 7am and reached this picturesque valley from Lachung village in one hour.
Be ready with your DSLR or any camera to take 'n' number of pics. Don't forget your thermal wear and umbrella as the temperature is around 5 deg in May and sometimes it drizzles also. Yaks graze everywhere and hot spring was also a different experience for us. On the whole we enjoyed this magnificent place!

The Places are in different location. Gurudongmar Lake Zero poin and Yumthung in one side . You need to reach Gantok first and stay one night there Contact with a travel agent for your trip to Lachung & Lachen 2N/3D, Get the help of google to find some good tourism contact no. After return from there you have to stay again one night in Gantok and again you need to contact with a travel agent to get a pass for Nathula Pass. Return back to Gantok and book a Cab for Darjeeling or stay at Gantok . (Explore Gantok site scene and next day leave for Darjeeling) .
Day 1 Gantok
Day 2&3 lachung & lachen
Day 4 Gantok
Day 5 Nathula Pass / Leave for Darjeeling or stay at Gantok
Day 6 Site scene at Gantok and leave for Darjeeling
You need to stay minimum 2 days to explore darjeeling
Thanking You
Would Yumthang valley be accessible in February month or closed due to snow/snowfall?

Hi,
Access to Yumthang Valley in the month of February totally depends on the amount of snowfall during the time. December to March is a winter time and Yumthang at an altitude of around 4000 mtrs is mostly covered with snow due to the continuous snowfall. If the snowfall is on continuous basis and heavy then the access will not be possible.
Hello everyone,
I will be travelling to Gangtok to Yumthang, please tell me what are the modes of transport? Is there any shared taxi or private, if shared then what is the charges and same goes to private? And I heard some where that taxi charges included everything like hotel meals etc is this right?
