One of the most incredible attractions is the hidden Katao Hills within the northernmost tip of Sikkim, 44 miles from Gangtok, and 28 km from Lachung. Situated at the height of 15000 ft and covered with snow for an entire year is ideal for winter fanatics' sporting activities including snowboarding, skiing, snow tubing and grinding, the unique mountain gives spectators magnificent views. However, due to the fact it is located in a military base, the army gets the right of entry into this place and visitors are required to get a permit entry to the complex. The base of Mount is home to a lot of treks and is blanketed with local plant life which includes primroses, rhododendrons and poppies. Fantastic area for nearly the entire year. It is covered with snow. There is a zero point situated nearby which provides some spectacular views.
