Tapas Dey shares his delightful family adventure in Jibhi, Himachal Pradesh, highlighting the ups and downs of their journey. After initially considering other locations, they settled on a homestay amid concerns from weather warnings.

The third day of the journey in Sikkim explored the stunning Yumthang Valley and the dramatic Zero Point. The day began with breathtaking views of the Himalayas in Lachung.

The return included a visit to the vibrant Yumthang Valley, rich in floral beauty, before experiencing obstacles on the road back to Gangtok, culminating in unforgettable memories.
