At 3,564m in North Sikkim, Yumthang Valley bursts into colour April–June with primulas, rhododendrons, and 24 species of wildflowers. The Teesta River cuts through the valley, hot springs bubble at the entrance, and Zero Point (4,940m) — the last motorable road in India before China — sits 23km beyond.
