CHUMBI VALLEY

This article appears in Volume V06, Page 323 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CHR-CLI
CHUMBI VALLEY , a valley connecting Tibet (q.v.) with the frontier of
British
 
India
 . Lying on the
southern
  slopes of the Himalayas at an altitude of about 9500 ft. above the sea, the valley is wedged in between
Bhutan
  and
Sikkim
 , and does not belong geographically but only politically to Tibet. This was the route by which the
British
 
mission
  of 1904 advanced. Before the date of that expedition the valley had acquired a reputation for beauty and fertility, which was subsequently found to be only
comparative
  in relation to the barrenness of the
rest
  of the Tibetan frontier. The summer months, though not hot, are relaxing and enervating.
