Escape to Paradise
Tour Overview
Discover the diverse landscapes of Sikkim on this 9-day, 8-night journey through Gangtok, Lachen, Lachung, and Pelling. Spend your first days in Gangtok, Sikkim's lively capital, where you'll venture to the high-altitude Tsomgo Lake and the sacred Baba Harbhajan Mandir amid snow-capped peaks above 12,000 feet, then explore the city's landmarks on a full sightseeing day covering Tashi View Point, Hanuman Tok, Ganesh Tok, Bakthang Falls, Do-Dul Chorten, and the historic Enchey Monastery. From there, head north into the remote villages of Lachen and Lachung, tucked into Sikkim's high mountain country, where private transfers carry you through dramatic mountain roads and the pace slows considerably, leaving you free to soak in the surrounding scenery and mountain lifestyle at your own leisure before continuing on. In Lachung, rise early for a visit to Yumthang Valley, the "Valley of Flowers," known for its Singba Rhododendron Sanctuary and natural hot springs, before returning to Gangtok for the night. Finally, journey west to Pelling, where a full day of sightseeing takes you to the centuries-old Pemayangtse Monastery, the Chenrezig Statue, and the Skywalk offering sweeping Kanchenjunga views, followed by Rimbi Waterfalls, the sacred Khecheopalri Lake, Kanchenjunga Waterfalls, and the historic Rabdentse Ruins, once the capital of the Sikkim kingdom. Throughout the trip, enjoy comfortable hotel stays and private, point-to-point transfers and sightseeing, with no sharing your vehicle or schedule with other travelers. From alpine lakes and remote mountain villages to ancient monasteries, waterfalls, and panoramic valley views, this itinerary offers a genuine cross-section of Sikkim's natural beauty, mountain culture, and Himalayan heritage in one memorable journey through some of the state's most striking terrain.
