Zero Point and Ymthang Valley  by Harwansh    29th Sep 08
Gangtok is the capital of Sikkim. We can reach here from Siliguri West Bengal. The best to go Gangtok is share Taxi, sumo, or other four wheeler. The best time to visit the sikkim is from October to May. In the month of December and January, it looks like the heaven. The best place to see, Rope way, museum, seven sister falls, zoo, and temples. These are the places you can see in Gangtok. Other places in Sikkim we see is Yumthang Valley, Zero point, Gurudongmar Lake, Nathula Border. Yumthang valley and Gurudongmar lake is two night two day journey from gangtok. Travel operator will complete in these two days. Zero point is really a heaven. The beginning of Tista river is zero point. You can see the mountain covered with ice. When sun shine, all places looks like the silver. The water of Tista river is just like the ice. In the of zero point you can see the water falls, valley of Tista and forest with mountain.
