Itinerary

Day1

Arrival & Transfer to Gangtok — Settle In and Relax

Arrive at Bagdogra Airport / New Jalpaiguri (NJP) and enjoy a scenic drive to Gangtok (approx. 4–5 hours). Check into your hotel and relax. In the evening, take a gentle walk on MG Marg to soak in the local vibe. Acclimatize well; stay hydrated.

Day2

Gangtok Sightseeing & Local Culture

Explore the highlights of Gangtok: visit Rumtek Monastery, Tashi Viewpoint for Himalayan panoramas, Hanuman Tok, and Enchey Monastery. Spend time at the local markets for handicrafts and teas. This day helps you acclimatize further before heading to higher altitudes.

Day3

Scenic Drive to Yuksom — Gateway to Goecha La

Depart Gangtok after breakfast for a picturesque drive to Yuksom (approx. 6–7 hours) — the historic capital and the base for the Goecha La trek. En route, enjoy valley views and stop for photographs. On arrival, check in and take a short orientation walk to Dubdi Monastery and the village. Early night recommended for the trek day ahead.

Day4

Goecha La Base Trek Intro — Short Guided Trek & Panoramas

Begin a guided, introductory trek from Yuksom towards the lower approaches of the Goecha La route. This is a day-long guided walk (6–8 hours round trip) to reach a scenic base viewpoint where you get dramatic views of Kangchenjunga and surrounding peaks. Return to Yuksom by late afternoon. This is a moderate trek requiring good fitness and sturdy footwear; acclimatization is essential.

Day5

Yuksom to Pelling — Khecheopalri Lake & Pemayangtse

After breakfast, drive to Pelling with en route stops at the sacred Khecheopalri Lake and the ancient Pemayangtse Monastery. Explore Pelling, visit Rabdentse ruins and enjoy sunset views of the Kanchenjunga range. Pelling offers dramatic cliffs and tea-garden panoramas.
