The Yambong Singalila range is one of the rare spots on earth where the view embraces five summits rising above 7000 meters, amongst them Mt Everest, Mt Makalu and Mt Lhotse of Nepal and Mt Khangchendzonga and Mt Siniolchu in Sikkim. Trek leads through narrow paths adjacent to Indo-Nepal border, sometime at the edge of the jungle, sometimes through rhododendron forests. The visit to some alpine lakes will give a blend touch of both nature and culture which make the journey a rare venture.
Yambong Singalila is the main mountain that connects the Sikkim Himalayan Range to Darjeeling Hills and Nepal and eventually separate them. Yambong Singalila Range is one of the many ranges to provide shelter to many endangered animals. It officially falls under Khangchendzonga Biosphere Reserve and shares a very close boundary with Khangchendzonga National Park at Gomathang.
Some of the animals which roam freely in this range are Red Panda, Himalayan Tahr, Blue Sheep, Himalayan Black Bear, and birds like Satyr Tragopan, Himalayan Monal and Blood Pheasant.
Yambong is also a place where fusion of culture is distinctly visible This valley almost has everything which a tourist can dream of as a land of fairs and festivals, snow clad mountains, holy lakes and peaks, holy caves, pilgrim spot, living local culture, pleasant valley of flora and fauna etc.
