Sikkim is simply stunning. Every part of the hilly state is heavily blessed by God in the form of scenic beauty. But to feel the presence of God most prominently, you should head for the northern part of Sikkim. It is said that one has to put a lot of effort and overcome many challenges to finally reach the abode of God. You will agree to it once your car approaches towards North Sikkim, leaving Gangtok, the state capital.

As your car starts going up, you see gorges covered with forests of pine and other Himalayan trees. At times when your car takes the edge of the road, you might panic but you must overcome it because a lot more is waiting for you here. On the way, you will go across a host of breathtaking sites like Kabi Lungtsok, Phodong, Mangan, Singhik Chungthang, Singhba Rhododendron Sanctuary, Kanchandzonga National Park and will finally get down at Lachung, ending a four-hour journey through risky terrains.

Around North Sikkim

Yumthang: A valley where the scenic beauty is absolutely indescribable. Here you will see a rhododendron sanctuary and a sulphur spring or the hot spring.

Zero Point: As the name indicates, Zero Point is a spot where you will find the last mark of civilization.

For a moment you might feel standing at a place 'out of the world'.

Katao: located at a distance of 28 kilometers from Lachung, Katao or Mount Katao is another popular spot in North Sikkim. This is also a zone covered with ice but there are signs of human settlement all around. No the small huts that you see are not owned by civilians but their protectors-the Indian Army. Being located very close to the India-China border, tourism is very much restricted in Katau and to reach here you need to get a special permit from the Army.

Yumesamdong: At an altitude of 15,300 feet, Yumesamdong is a white land as it is completely covered with thick layers of snow. Yumesamdong is even closer to the border of China. The road to Yumesamdong is very rough but what will make you feel good is a sweet fragrance of Azalea. Azalea is an aromatic plant that is used by local people as incense. Yumesamdong too is called a Zero Point since there is no motorable road beyond the spot.
