A road trip from Yumthang Valley (North Sikkim in North East India) leads to a glacier named as Katau Glacier, known for heavy snow and crystal clear water. The journey features "killer" mountain views, blue skies, and lush valleys. Highly recommended stops include Kaanda Waterfalls and the 225-meter Lachen Waterfalls. North Sikkim is kept very clean, and plastic bottles are strictly prohibited (fine ₹5,100). We also get to know that during Losar, non-vegetarian item sales are banned, enforced by a potential license cancellation and INR 50,000 fine. The traveler highly praised their driver for showing unique, beautiful spots.

This is the side of India most people have no idea existed because most people thought that India is tropical and hot. They have no idea that there are places in India that are so cold that you can grow berries.

When this video and this series was made, the Host named Vikash (or Vikas, I am confused a bit as to how he spells) kind of indicated that this trip and series was self financed. However, within one year after this (that is by early 2021), he had gained many followers and was earning well enough. Later by Mid 2024 he was earning so much from YouTube and endorsements that he bought a Toyota LandCruiser 300 as evident in this video:

Yes, the landscapes and geographies in India are so so varied that there is a lot to explore. Even many Indians, including me are either ignorant of many places or find it difficult to explore many of these. Often we tend to stick to tried and tested areas.

This trip from Yumthang Valley to Katau Glacier sounds like a real adventure. The route itself is full of breathtaking scenery with big mountains, blue skies and very clean valleys. Along the way there are some great stops like Kaanda Waterfalls and Lachen Waterfalls with a height of 225 meters which are very eye-catching. North Sikkim is kept clean with strict rules no plastic bottles if you carry them you will be fined 5100 rupees. During Losar also there is no selling of non veg food and if you break that rule you can lose your license and pay a huge fine of 50000. The trip became more memorable because the driver took them to unique spots that not everyone knows.
