Overview

Offbeat Sikkim: Zuluk & Thambi Viewpoint Explorer — A curated 4 nights / 5 days Sikkim tour package designed for travelers seeking high-altitude panoramas, historic mountain passes, and quiet offbeat roads. Ideal as a Sikkim Adventure tour package and a compact Sikkim Adventure package for those wanting the unique eastern loop (Zuluk, Nathang Valley, Thambi Viewpoint) with comfortable stays and local experiences. This itinerary is crafted as a 4 and 5 Sikkim Adventure tour package option that balances acclimatization, scenic driving on the famous Zuluk loops (Old Silk Route), and short exploratory walks to viewpoints and lakes.

Itinerary

Day1

Arrival, Transfer to Gangtok & Evening at Leisure

Arrive at Bagdogra Airport / New Jalpaiguri (NJP). Meet and transfer to Gangtok (approx. 4-5 hrs). Check in, rest and acclimatize. Evening stroll on MG Road for local cuisine, shopping and views. Important: Keep light luggage — mountain roads have luggage limits.

Day2

Gangtok: Local Sightseeing & Permits

After breakfast, explore Gangtok's highlights: visit the Enchey Monastery, Namgyal Institute of Tibetology, Do Drul Chorten, and enjoy panoramic views from Tashi Viewpoint. Afternoon free for shopping or optional cable car ride. Permit formalities for East Sikkim/Zuluk route completed by our team. Tip: Carry ID copies for permit processing.

Day3

Drive to Zuluk via Rangpo — Entering the Old Silk Route

Early departure towards the historic eastern loop. Drive through Rangpo and mountain roads to reach the iconic Zuluk switchback loops. En route visit Thambi Viewpoint for sunrise/sunset vistas and the hauntingly beautiful Nathang Valley. Experience the dramatic hairpin bends (often called the 'Zuluk loops' or Old Silk Route). Overnight stay at Zuluk / nearby camp/homestay.

Day4

Explore Zuluk, Kupup Lake & Jelep La Viewpoint

Spend the day exploring higher-altitude sights: short walks to local viewpoints, visit Kupup Lake (Elephant Lake / Kyongnosla) area and the Jelep La viewpoint. Learn about the history of the Silk Route and mountain warfare. Evening photography at the loops as colors change. Note: Weather can be cold and windy — layer up.

Day5

Return to Gangtok & Departure to Bagdogra/NJP

Return drive to Gangtok with a scenic descent, time permitting short stops for photos. Transfer to Bagdogra Airport / NJP for onward journey. Ensure you confirm flight/train timings; we recommend afternoon/evening departures to avoid rushed transfers.
