About
It is a tourist hot spot rich in alpine vegetation, orchids, rhododendrons and other high altitude vegetation. The valley is criss crossed by meandering rivers. The valley of flowers as it is known is a riot of colors during summer months. As you approach the valley, you can see the tall trees of Lachen area slowly going away and smaller shrubs becoming more common. Beyond Chopta valley greenery wanes even further and the pasture turns quite devoid of vegetation. From here the mountains starts to barren and sharp contrast to green Sikkim hills where you have spend the last few days.
