Itinerary
Arrival at Bagdogra/NJP and Transfer to Gangtok
Arrive at Bagdogra Airport / NJP Railway Station. Meet your representative and drive to Gangtok (approx. 4–5 hours). Check-in at the hotel and relax. In the evening, take a gentle walk along MG Road to soak in the local culture and cuisine.
Important: Keep your permits and ID handy for upcoming North Sikkim transfers.
Rumtek Monastery & Gangtok Sacred Circuit
After breakfast, visit Rumtek Monastery — the spiritual seat of the Karma Kagyu lineage. Continue to the Namgyal Institute of Tibetology, Do Drul Chorten (Stupa) and the scenic Enchey Monastery. Later visit Hanuman Tok for panoramic views of the Kanchenjunga range and return to MG Road in the evening for leisure.
Tip: Rumtek has guided timings; carry a light jacket for wind-chill at viewpoints.
Drive to Lachen — Gateway to Gurudongmar
Early morning after breakfast, depart for Lachen via scenic roads through Chungthang. Enjoy changing landscapes — rivers, terraced fields and rhododendron forests. Check in at the hotel in Lachen and rest early to prepare for the next day’s high-altitude excursion.
Note: Road conditions can vary; keep some warm layers and motion-sickness remedies.
Gurudongmar Lake Excursion and Transfer to Lachung
Very early pre-dawn departure to the sacred Gurudongmar Lake (altitude approx. 17,800 ft). Spend time at the lakeshore, soak in the surreal, prayerful atmosphere and take photographs. Return to Lachen for a brief refresh and then transfer to Lachung. Evening at leisure — gentle walk in the village surroundings.
Vital: Acclimatization is crucial. Carry necessary medications and consult your doctor if you have pre-existing conditions. Permits will be required for Gurudongmar and will be arranged prior to departure.
Yumthang Valley, Hot Springs & Return to Gangtok
After breakfast, visit the Yumthang Valley (Valley of Flowers) and nearby Yumthang Hot Springs. If weather and road permits, an optional visit to Zero Point can be arranged (subject to permit and road conditions). Post lunch, begin the scenic drive back to Gangtok. Evening free for shopping or rest.
Tip: Yumthang is cold year-round; warm clothing and sunscreen are essential.
Departure — Transfer to Bagdogra / NJP
After breakfast and hotel check-out, transfer to Bagdogra Airport / NJP Railway Station for your onward journey. En-route photos stops available depending on time and traffic.
We recommend allowing ample time for mountain traffic and flight/train check-in.
