Trip To Yumthang Valley : North Sikkim Adventure

We almost didn’t make it. 3 km traffic jam. Landslides. Freezing rain. And then suddenly… everything changed. They call this place “Bengali Switzerland.” But is it really that magical? In this episode, we travel deep into North Sikkim — from the risky roads of Lachung (also known as Swarga Rajya) to the breathtaking beauty of Yumthang Valley. What started as one of the toughest journeys… turned into one of the most surreal experiences of our lives. From sipping Nun Chai in sub-zero temperatures to eating hot Maggi in the middle of snow, and trying unique local foods like Zhero and Chhurpi (yak cheese)… This isn’t just a travel vlog. It’s an experience. Watch till the end — the final views are absolutely unreal. -- For booking via Travmingo, Call : +916291920027 / +917439293037 Social media profiles of Travmingo:   / travmingo   https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?... ] _- Lachung is "Swarga Rajya" and Yumthang is truly the "Bengali Switzerland."
