Along with being a Hotspot for adventurous sports like skiing hiking and mountain biking, it is also known for its picturesque landscape.

Things to do in Yuthmang : 

Approximately, 20 km away from this Valley there is a place named zero point.

A place where the road comes to an end and three rivers meeting which snowclad mountains can be witnessed. A place worth visiting with a bowl of Maggi and the magnificent snowfall.
