About YTDC
The Yangang Tourism Development Committee is a dedicated body working to unveil the hidden gem of South Sikkim — Yangang — to the world. With its breathtaking Himalayan vistas, sacred peaks like Maenamla, serene monasteries, pristine lakes, and untouched waterfalls, Yangang offers an immersive blend of nature, spirituality, and adventure.
Our mission is twofold: to promote Yangang as a premier eco-spiritual and adventure tourism destination, and to preserve its unspoiled natural and cultural heritage for generations to come. Every initiative we undertake is rooted in sustainability, community involvement, and a deep respect for the land and its legacy.
We proudly align our efforts with the visionary leadership of Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri P.S. Golay, contributing to his goal of establishing Sikkim as India’s leading hub for wellness tourism. From ropeways to retreats, homestays to heritage walks — Yangang is being carefully nurtured to offer visitors not just a trip, but a transformation.
Discover Yangang — where the mountains whisper peace, and nature renews your spirit.
