Nathang Valley

Nathang Valley remains an unexplored treasure, largely due to its extremely cold weather that keeps it off the beaten path. Remnants of the old silk route still whisper in the air, lending a unique charm to this region, often called the Ladakh of East India. Surrounded by majestic mountains and visited by migratory birds before the winter sets in, Nathang Valley offers a tranquil escape from bustling city life.

The enchanting sight of clouds enveloping snow-clad mountains and the Chinese Watch Towers on Jelep La is a captivating view that draws travellers from all corners of the world. The spellbinding phenomenon of the sun rising above the horizon, illuminating the Bhutan Valley and a part of China while casting a golden hue on Mt. Kanchenjunga, resembling diamonds on Ganek in Nathang Valley, is a mesmerizing experience. The valley is a winter wonderland, often covered in thick snow from January to April, adding to its ethereal beauty.

A brief uphill trek of 10 minutes from Nathang Valley rewards visitors with a breathtaking panoramic view of the Eastern Himalayas, offering glimpses of Bhutan, China, and the hills of Bengal, including Darjeeling. The majestic Mt. Kanchenjunga range and the meandering River Brahmaputra across China and India complete this awe-inspiring panorama.
