India is home to some of the world's most rare and precious natural wonders such as the acres of seasonal wildflowers which bloom in protected areas and national parks. One such gem can be found in the state of Sikkim in India's northeast, which boasts breathtaking destinations like the serene Tsomgo Lake, a glacial lake surrounded by snow-capped mountains, and the revered Rumtek Monastery, an important seat of Tibetan Buddhism. Yumthang Valley in Sikkim is famous for its stunning variety of wildflowers situated on meadows beyond the treeline. It is an ideal location for a spring holiday. Experience the serene beauty of the Himalayan wilderness as you stroll along the grassy river banks adorned with rhododendrons, Himalayan wildflowers, and Buddhist prayer flags.
