Arin Diaries's video: Nathang Valley- The Magnum Opus Of The Mountains Old Silk Route East Sikkim Arin Diaries

Gnathang or Nathang village is one of the remotest Tibetian habitations in Eastern Himalaya. Nathang's weather is usually a riot of colors through the rest of the year. The valley continues to remain a dynamic spot that may be engulfed in fog one day yet turn out bright and vibrant the next. It requires only ten minutes walk to reach the spot to witness the panoramic view of the entire Eastern Himalayas with the magnificent Kanchenjunga range, some parts of Bhutan, China, the hills of Darjeeling and River Brahmaputra. The Chinese watchtowers on Jelep-La pass are clearly visible from Nathang Valley. The other places worth visiting around are Zuluk, Lungthung, Thambi Viewpoint, Old Baba Mandir, Padamchen, Genmochen and Tukla Valley. The beautiful lakes like Jorepokri, Green Lake, Tsomgo Lake, Memencho Lake and Kupup lake are within 1-hour driving distance. Few homestays have come up in the valley with the help of Government which are equipped with all the modern amenities for the comfortable stay. Nathang Valley experiences extreme winters and the temperature remains well below the freezing point throughout most of the season. Precipitation in the form of snowfall can be witnessed on a frequent basis, and for those who enjoy the snow and chilly climate, this may be a great time to visit. However, because of the heavy snowfall, most of the valley gets buried under thick layers of snow and the whole Silk Route is shut down during this time. The duration is usually between January to March, but the closing and re-opening of most roads depends largely on the weather conditions.
