Itinerary
Arrival, Orientation & Short Warm-up Ride
Arrive at Bagdogra Airport / New Jalpaiguri (NJP) Railway Station and transfer to Gangtok (approx. 4–5 hours by road). Check in and relax. In the late afternoon, meet your cycling guide for a kit check, route brief and a short warm-up ride around MG Marg, Deorali, and the nearby ridgeline to acclimatize. This gentle 8–12 km ride helps you adjust to altitude and evaluate bike fit. Evening free to explore MG Marg's cafes and handicraft shops.
Important: Keep this day easy to allow proper acclimatization. Carry a light jacket — mountain evenings can be chilly.
Trail Ride to Rumtek & Ranka Monastery Loop
After breakfast, set out for an engaging trail ride through forest tracks and village roads to Rumtek Monastery. The route includes mixed singletrack, gravel lanes and short climbs, offering panoramic views of the valley. Post-ride visit Rumtek, then continue on a scenic loop to Ranka Monastery and return to Gangtok via a downhill trail that ends near town. Expect 25–35 km of riding with intermittent walking sections on steeper stretches. Evening at leisure for local cuisine sampling.
Tip: Moderate fitness required; guides will suggest walking stretches if needed. Photography stops available at viewpoints.
Full-Day Ride: Fambong Lho Wildlife Sanctuary & Ridge Trails
Today’s highlight is a full-day moderate to challenging trail ride in Fambong Lho Wildlife Sanctuary and adjoining ridgelines. The ride covers dense rhododendron forests (seasonal blooms), steep switchbacks, and open ridges with views of the Kanchenjunga range on clear days. Picnic lunch en route and short nature walks to spot birdlife. Return to Gangtok by late afternoon. Distance covered: 30–45 km depending on chosen loop and group pace.
Note: Wildlife sightings are seasonal; please follow guide instructions to minimize impact on the habitat.
High-Altitude Excursion to Tsomgo Lake & Baba Mandir (with optional short rides)
Early departure for a scenic drive to Tsomgo (Changu) Lake and Baba Harbhajan Mandir — a must-see for Sikkim visitors. Due to road access and altitude (~3,780 m), most of this transfer is by vehicle; however, there are excellent options for short guided rides on gentle trails near the lake and on surrounding meadows for those acclimatized. Return via picturesque passes; optional stop at Nathula (subject to permit and weather conditions). Evening free in Gangtok.
Important: This is a high-altitude day. Teams will monitor acclimatization closely and may suggest rest instead of riding for those feeling any symptoms of altitude sickness.
Final Short Ride, Cultural Walk & Departure
Depending on your departure time, enjoy a final short morning ride or easy cultural walk to Enchey Monastery and Do Drul Chorten to soak in Gangtok’s ambiance and spiritual vibe. Return to hotel, check out and transfer to Bagdogra Airport / NJP for onward journey.
Tip: Keep essentials and souvenirs packed the night before. Inform your guide of your transfer details to ensure timely departure.
