Itinerary

Day1

Arrival, Welcome & Market Intro

Arrive at Bagdogra Airport / New Jalpaiguri Railway Station and transfer to Gangtok (approx. 4-5 hours). Check in and relax. In the late afternoon enjoy a guided stroll along MG Road (Gangtok) — a lively pedestrian market perfect for tasting street snacks like momos, thukpa, and local sweets. 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.

Day2

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.

Day3

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.

Day4

Pelling Village Walk, Farm-to-Table Lunch & Cooking Workshop

Morning village walk through local Pelling hamlets—visit small farms, meet farming families, and learn about indigenous ingredients like gundruk, locally grown vegetables, and yak cheese. Participate in a farm-to-table lunch prepared with fresh produce, followed by a short cooking workshop focusing on traditional preservation methods and regional recipes.

Afternoon visit to Pemayangtse Monastery (photo stop) and leisure time in Pelling Market for souvenir shopping.

Note: The farm-to-table experience supports local communities; dietary restrictions can be accommodated if informed in advance.

Day5

Final Market Shopping, Farewell Brunch & Departure
