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.
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.
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.
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.
Departure: Pelling to Bagdogra / NJP
After an early breakfast, depart Pelling for Bagdogra Airport / New Jalpaiguri (NJP) (approx. 4–5 hours) for your onward journey. En route, quick photo stops at tea gardens and small waterfalls are possible. Drop-off time depends on your onward flight/train schedule.
