Have
you ever dreamt of walking on rivers? You must be wondering what kind of
question is this. Perhaps this might sound like a weird imagination. But
this dream can actually be realized in Chopta Valley, a place where
everything has a celestial charisma. Located in North Sikkim district,
Chopta Valley is a wonderful place to experience. One can easily reach
Chopta Valley from Mangan via Thangu. From Thangu, it is just a 45
minutes drive to Chopta Valley.
At an elevation of 13,200 ft, Chopta Valley is an isolated place that
seems to be the alluring abode of God. Nothing can be compared to the
beauty of Chopta Valley. Affluent in alpine vegetation, orchids,
rhododendrons and other high altitude flora, Chopta Valley also embraces
many twisty rivers. The valley is one amongst the very few reachable
places in India, where you can walk over the iced up rivers in winters.
During spring, Chopta Valley actually enjoys a colorful turbulence of
flowers. The Valley could also be a perfect route to way towards
Muguthang Valley, which is another surprise in North Sikkim. From Chopta
Valley, one can trek to Muguthang Valley that lies at an altitude of
15,500 ft. This high alpine valley is a beautiful place to view
incredible vista, where snow-covered peaks, meandering rivers and alpine
flowers appear grandiose all together.
