🌄 Is Zero Point Worth Visiting in Summer?
Yes! While Zero Point in North Sikkim is most famous for its winter snow, visiting in summer (May to September) offers a completely different charm. Instead of snow-covered landscapes, you’ll find rolling green meadows, colorful alpine flowers, and crystal-clear streams. The roads are also safer to travel in summer, making it ideal for families and those who want a relaxed trip.

Why Visit in Summer?

  • Pleasant temperatures (5°C to 15°C)

  • Clear skies for panoramic Himalayan views

  • Blooming high-altitude flora

  • Easier travel conditions than in winter

📌 Travel Tip: You can pair your Zero Point trip with a visit to Yumthang Valley for the famous rhododendron blooms.
