Yumesamdong
- North Sikkim
Situated at an altitude of 15,300 ft. Yumesamdong
is very close to the Chinese border. An hours drive beyond Yumthang
(26 kms), Yumesamdong is the land of perennial snow. The journey
from Yumthang trudges up through the rugged mountain road to
Yumesamdong, an area where the sweet fragrance of Ezilia permeates
the air. Ezilia is a plant used by the locals as incense.
Yumesamdong
is a valley grazed by yaks and their nomadic shepherds. Heady,
invigorating and exhilarating, words still fail to explain the
experience of being at Yumesamdong. Yumesamdong is well known for its hot springs.
There are about 14 sulpher hot springs around Yumesamdong. |
