Clear blue skies, snow-capped mountains, winding roads, and deep valleys make up the magnificent Nelong Valley in Uttarakhand. Gracing the Indo-China border, this tiny valley was closed to tourists for over four decades due to the 1962 Indo-China war and tensions that followed. The arms of this beautiful valley once again beckon adventurous souls to come and explore a piece of living so close to heaven. Situated at an altitude of 11,400 ft., this valleywas once the centre point of trade routes between India and Tibet.
