Gangtok – The Perfect Start to Your Sikkim Adventure

Explore some of Gangtok’s famous attractions:

Spend the evening enjoying the cool mountain air, exploring the local cafés and handicraft shops, or simply relaxing at your hotel before the next day’s adventure.
Tsomgo Lake & Baba Mandir – A High-Altitude Excursion
A short drive from Gangtok takes you to the breathtaking Tsomgo Lake, a high-altitude glacial lake at 12,400 feet. The lake’s crystal-clear waters reflect the surrounding snow-covered peaks, creating a mesmerizing sight. In winter, the lake freezes completely, turning the landscape into a winter wonderland.
Enjoy a Yak ride along the lake and soak in the tranquility of the Himalayas. Next, visit the Baba Harbhajan Singh Mandir, a shrine dedicated to an Indian Army soldier believed to protect the region.
For those looking for more adventure, an optional visit to Nathula Pass (subject to permit availability) offers a thrilling experience at the Indo-China border, situated at a staggering 14,140 feet.
Lachen – Gateway to North Sikkim’s Hidden Beauty
The journey to North Sikkim begins with a scenic drive to Lachen, a small mountain village surrounded by snow-capped peaks. The route offers mesmerizing views of the Teesta River, dense forests, and cascading waterfalls.
Lachen is the starting point for your excursion to Gurudongmar Lake, one of the highest lakes in the world at 17,800 feet. This sacred glacial lake, surrounded by barren yet breathtaking landscapes, is a sight to behold. Due to its extreme altitude, visitors may experience thin air, so acclimatization is essential.
After exploring Gurudongmar Lake, return to Lachen for a warm meal and overnight stay, preparing for another exciting day ahead.
Lachung & Yumthang Valley – The Valley of Flowers
From Lachen, continue your journey to Lachung, another picturesque mountain village known for its fruit orchards, rhododendron forests, and stunning landscapes.
A highlight of this trip is a visit to Yumthang Valley, famously known as the Valley of Flowers. At 11,800 feet, Yumthang is covered with colorful rhododendrons (April-May), lush green meadows (summer), and snow-covered landscapes (winter). The valley’s pristine beauty, with the Teesta River flowing through it, makes it a photographer’s paradise.
For those traveling in winter, an excursion to Zero Point (subject to permit availability) is highly recommended. At an altitude of 15,300 feet, Zero Point remains covered in snow throughout the year, offering a surreal experience.
After an enchanting day in Yumthang Valley, return to Lachung for a cozy stay, reminiscing about the natural wonders you’ve explored.
