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.
