Itinerary

Day1

Arrival, Transfer to Gangtok & Evening Stroll

Arrive at Bagdogra Airport / NJP Railway Station and drive to Gangtok (approx 4-5 hours). Check in to the hotel and relax. In the evening, take a leisurely walk on MG Marg to experience local cafes, handicrafts and Himalayan vistas. Briefing about North Sikkim permits and the road conditions for upcoming days.

Tip: Carry warm clothing even during summer evenings. Keep copies of ID and permit documents handy.

Day2

Scenic Drive to Lachen via Chungthang

Early morning departure to Lachen (approx 6-7 hours). En route visit Chungthang, a confluence point and gateway to North Sikkim. Enjoy panoramic views of the Teesta River valley, terraced farms and rugged mountains. Reach Lachen, check in and enjoy the mountain village ambience.

Note: Roads to North Sikkim are mountainous and may be bumpy — travel time is subject to road/weather conditions.

Day3

Gurudongmar Lake & Chopta Valley Excursion

Full-day excursion to Gurudongmar Lake (altitude ~17,800 ft). Early departure to beat traffic and acclimatization concerns. Experience the surreal, turquoise waters surrounded by snow-clad peaks. On the return, visit Chopta Valley / Thangu for high-altitude meadows and panoramic photography spots. Return to Lachen for the night.

Important: Due to extreme altitude, keep hydrated and follow guides' instructions. Snow and sub-zero temperatures are possible; carry insulated jackets.

Day4

Transfer to Lachung with En-route Stops

Drive from Lachen to Lachung (approx 3-4 hours) with picturesque stops. Visit local viewpoints and small villages to experience authentic North Sikkim culture. Check-in at Lachung hotel and enjoy a relaxed evening exploring the village and interacting with locals.

Tip: Short nature walks around the village help acclimatize and offer beautiful sunset views.

Day5

Yumthang Valley & Zero Point (Yumesamdong) Excursion

Excursion to Yumthang Valley (Valley of Flowers) and Zero Point (Yumesamdong). Visit the hot springs nearby and enjoy vast meadows framed by snow-capped peaks. Zero Point lies further up and offers pristine snowy landscapes and striking panoramas — an unforgettable high-altitude experience. Return to Lachung in the evening.

Note: Access to Zero Point may be limited in heavy snowfall; alternative activities include extended time in Yumthang and local nature walks.

Day6

Return to Gangtok & Departure

After breakfast, drive back to Gangtok (approx 6-7 hours). Depending on your onward schedule, you will be dropped at Bagdogra Airport / NJP Railway Station for your onward journey. If time permits, quick stops for photos en route are arranged.
