Tour Itinerary
Arrive at Bagdogra Airport (IXB) or New Jalpaiguri Railway Station (NJP). Meet your representative and embark on a scenic mountain drive along the Teesta River to Gangtok (approx. 4–5 hours / 120 km). Check into your hotel and take the afternoon to acclimatize. In the evening, stroll along the pedestrian-only MG Marg to explore local cafes, traditional handicraft stalls, and regional cuisine. Overnight stay in Gangtok.
After breakfast, drive to the sacred Tsomgo Lake (Changu Lake), located at an elevation of 12,400 ft. Continue upward to the Baba Harbhajan Singh Memorial Temple.

Visit the hilltop Enchey Monastery before an evening at leisure. Overnight stay in Gangtok.
Post-breakfast check-out. Visit the historic Rumtek Monastery (or Do Drul Chorten & Namgyal Institute of Tibetology) on the way out of Gangtok. Proceed toward West Sikkim (approx. 4.5–5 hours), stopping en route at the Buddha Park in Ravangla to view the 130-foot statue framed by Himalayan peaks. Arrive in Pelling, check in to your hotel, and relax with panoramic sunset views over Mount Kanchenjunga. Overnight stay in Pelling.
Begin your morning with visits to the sacred Khecheopalri Lake (the wish-fulfilling lake) and the multi-tiered Kanchenjunga Waterfalls. Head to the Pemayangtse Monastery, one of Sikkim's premier Nyingma institutions. Walk through the forested trail to the historic Rabdentse Ruins (the 17th-century former royal capital) and visit the adjacent Pelling Glass Skywalk facing the colossal Chenrezig statue.
