Evening welcome dinner featuring a curated Sikkimese tasting menu hosted at your hotel or a local family-run eatery.
Tip: Carry light jackets — mountain evenings can be cool.
Gangtok Market Walk, Cooking Class & Cultural Evening
Morning guided visit to the Lal Bazaar & local fresh produce markets to meet vendors and sample seasonal produce, herbs, and local cheeses. Participate in a hands-on cooking class with a local home chef: learn to make momos, gundruk, and a traditional curry with local spices. Afternoon visit to the Institute of Tibetology (optional) or leisure time.
In the evening enjoy a cultural immersion with a small performance of Lepcha & Bhutia folk music and a rustic dinner featuring the dishes you helped prepare.
Note: Cooking class is family-friendly; children can join simpler tasks like dough-making.
Tea Garden Visit, Scenic Transfer to Pelling & Local Dinner
After breakfast depart for Pelling, with a scenic drive that includes a stop at a tea garden / plantation for a guided tasting of Himalayan teas and light snacks. En route, visit a roadside local market for seasonal fruits and traditional snacks.
Arrive in Pelling, check into your hotel, and in the evening enjoy a community-hosted dinner featuring regional specialties and conversation with local hosts about culinary traditions.
Tip: Keep cameras ready for mountain vistas; stops include short walks on uneven terrain.
Pelling Village Walk, Farm-to-Table Lunch & Cooking Workshop
