Katao - A 90 sec Video [Explored]

[Explored] #490 31-03-12

 

Katao Valley

24 kms from Lachung at a height of 15,000 ft., Katao is a very beautiful place with the panoromic view of snow capped peaks of the Himalayas. The valley is covered with poppy, primula and rhododendrons.

 

Katao is mostly inaccessible due to military reasons. A military check-post is nearby as Katao is very close to Tibet border. Being located close to a sensitive border, access to the place is closely monitored by the Indian Army.

Note: For security reasons, I have excluded most of the clippings of the defence establishments of this area

 

Katao, North Sikkim, India

Music : Mirmire Bhaka by Kutumba Band
