Old Silk Route - The Old Indo-China Trade Route - Indian Himalaya

The Old Silk Route is seen surrounded by snow, with towering snow-capped mountains nearby, in Zuluk, Sikkim, India, on April 17, 2026. The roads of the Old Silk Route have been reconstructed by the Indian Army, and in the distance, Army trucks, an Army bunker, and local vehicles are visible. Zuluk, located at 10,100 feet, serves as a high-altitude transit base and logistics hub for the Indian Army to access the China border. The Himalayan Old Silk Route in East Sikkim, particularly through Zuluk and Nathang Valley, is renowned for heavy snowfall, with temperatures often dropping below freezing.
