Located within the Yumthang valley of the ever-so beautiful country of Sikkim, the Singba Rhodendron Sanctuary is like a double bonanza for nature enthusiasts as well as adventurists. The sanctuary is all over an area of 43 sq. km and its altitude ranges between 3048 and 4575 metres above sea level. Domestic to a diffusion of flowering plant life together with the rhododendron, the sanctuary makes a notable trek in India. Even though the abundance of rhododendron is what makes this sanctuary pretty appealing, there are also other capabilities, just like the YUMThang river that flows through the reserve, the alpine meadows and the lives of certain birds that add more attraction to the reserve.
