Mt Katao, North Sikkim Overview
Mt Katao sits in a high, snowbound valley close to the Sikkim-Tibet border, 28 km beyond Lachung, and holds snow through much of the year, a rarity in the eastern Himalaya that's made it one of the region's few real spots for skiing, snow tubing and snowboarding. Getting there requires an Army permit given how close it sits to the frontier, but for travellers chasing snow this far east in India, Mt Katao is worth the paperwork.
Covered with natural vegetation including poppy, rhododendron, and primula, the base ground of Mount Katao comprises of numerous adventure sports activities. This amazing place is situated at an elevation of 15000 feet and remains covered in snow almost throughout the year. There is a zero point situated nearby which provides some spectacular views.
