Yumesamdong, Sikkim

Located above the Yumthang Valley in North Sikkim, this is also known as Zero Point for some reason. The road ends here, and beyond these rugged mountains lies the border with Tibet.

End of the road at Yumesamdong, above Yumthang Valley in North Sikkim. I wonder why it is referred to as Zero Point. No one there seemed to know why.

Wish I had included the full bends of the road. Unfortunately circumstances did not permit. But I still like how the hairpins give a sense of altitude and scale, which is otherwise obscured by the landscape. Also note the tree line clearly visible on the slopes.
