Day 04 - 05: Yumthang Valley - Mountain Safari
Two days' Mountain Safari to Yumthang Valley, this 1 night 2 days Mountain
Safari in hard top jeeps, along the 150 km. rugged hilly terrain is a
once in a lifetime experience. The route is a gradual climb from 5,000
to 13,000 ft. and every kilometer of it unravels a new dimension to your
knowledge bank.Sometimes a massive waterfall and somewhere a dense forest,
next may be the lush paddy fields filled with water harnessed from nearby
streams and then suddenly a tiny Himalayan village or a small township
with red cheek children playing around or people waiting for the local
transport at the road heads. As you proceed, in the month of March/April,
you may be left dumbfounded after encountering a kilometer long Rhododendron
concentration in various hues as if the whole jungle is on fire. During
winters, the flowering beds and the slopes are covered with a blanket
of 4 - 5 ft. thick snow, rendering the entire terrain a vast spread of
white. The journey is dotted with herds of Yaks, an important part of
the local economy.
