Sikkim — Gangtok & Tsomgo LakeA Gangtok-based Sikkim trip taking in Tsomgo Lake, Rumtek Monastery and, permits and season permitting, Nathu La Pass on the Tibet border, in a lush, permit-controlled Himalayan state.
Sikkim's permit requirements and more limited flight/road access mean a trip here benefits from advance planning; this itinerary is built around a realistic pace for those logistics.
Fly or drive into Gangtok, Sikkim's capital, set on a ridge with views toward Kanchenjunga on clear days. Evening at leisure along MG Marg, the town's pedestrian-only promenade.
A day toward Tsomgo Lake and, permits and season permitting, Nathu La Pass on the Tibet border, followed by a visit to Rumtek Monastery, one of the most significant Buddhist monasteries in the region.
A further day around Gangtok, with time at the Directorate of Handicrafts and Handlooms and free time along MG Marg's cafes and shops.
A final relaxed day in Gangtok, with time for the Himalayan Zoological Park or simply more time along MG Marg before departure.
Morning at leisure in Gangtok before a private transfer to the airport for your onward flight.
Well-located hotels in each city, twin-sharing with breakfast included; a 5-star or heritage-property upgrade is available on request.
Private air-conditioned vehicle and driver for the full itinerary, plus any internal flights specifically listed in the day-by-day plan; airport transfers included.
Daily breakfast included. Lunches and dinners are at your own choice so you can explore local restaurants, with recommendations from your guide — let us know if you'd prefer these pre-arranged instead.
October to March for the most comfortable sightseeing temperatures.
Let us know of any festival dates, mobility considerations or dietary needs in advance so we can plan around them.
Every element here — duration, hotel category, pace and stops — can be adjusted. Tell us your dates and interests via the enquiry form and we'll tailor this starting point to you.
Indian nationals need a simple inner-line permit arranged on arrival or in advance; foreign nationals need a protected-area permit, which we help arrange once your passport details are confirmed.
Access depends on weather, season and current border conditions — we'll confirm feasibility close to your travel dates rather than guarantee it in advance.
Fully private — your own vehicle, driver and guide, on your own schedule, not a fixed-departure group tour.
