Chopta Valley and Muguthang
Chopta Valley (Tsopta Valley) at an elevation of 13,200 feet (4,023 meters) is a relatively unexplored destination in Sikkim. It is about half an hour away from Thangu. This spectacularly scenic valley where one gets up close and personal with a glacial mountain wall towards the western side is en route to the trek east towards Muguthang which is at an altitude of 15,500 feet (4,724 meters).
Muguthang provides unparalleled views of the Tibetan Plateau intersected by countless mountain streams. Except for some nomadic Tibetan tribes and their yaks, this area is generally uninhabited.
