Drive to Lachen (North Sikkim) — En route Scenic Stops

Carry warm clothing — nights get cold in North Sikkim.
Gurudongmar Lake Excursion & Transfer to Lachung
Very early morning departure to visit Gurudongmar Lake (subject to military permission and road conditions). Experience surreal, icy-blue high-altitude landscapes; limited time at the lake due to altitude. Return to Lachen for a quick meal and then drive to Lachung via Chungthang, arriving by late afternoon. Check-in at the hotel in Lachung.
Gurudongmar is at high altitude — carry oxygen if prone to altitude sickness and consult your doctor if necessary.
Yumthang Valley & Return to Gangtok / Departure

Recent Sikkim Reviews
Sikkim Felt Easier Because Rohit Was There
Went to Sikkim with my wife last month and honestly the trip ran well because of our coordinator Rohit. Before booking itself he spent two calls understanding what we wanted — not too rushed, some nature, decent hotels. Once we were on ground, he was constantly on WhatsApp. One evening our cab driver took a wrong route near Lachung and Rohit sorted it on call within minutes, spoke directly to the driver. No panic on our end. Hotels were proper good, no mismatch from what was promised. Billing was transparent, no hidden charges at checkout. For a hill trip where things can go sideways quickly, having someone actually reachable made a real difference.
Sikkim Properties Were Far Better Than Expected
Honestly, I wasn't sure what to expect from the hotels in Sikkim since it's not exactly a metro city — but TourGrids genuinely surprised us. My husband and I got properties that were clean, well-located, and in one case had the most beautiful mountain view from our room. Every cab transfer was on time, drivers were polite, and the routes were properly planned given Sikkim's terrain. Our coordinator had shared all the driver details in advance over WhatsApp, so there was zero confusion at any pickup point. No last-minute scrambling, no awkward waits. The whole ground experience felt like someone had actually thought it through before we even landed.
Road Blocked in Sikkim, TourGrids Found a Way
We were somewhere between Gangtok and Lachung when the road got blocked due to a landslide. No warning, no backup plan from our side — just two of us standing there not knowing what to do. I called TourGrids and within twenty minutes they had rerouted the cab, adjusted the next two days of the itinerary, and got the hotel informed about the delay. No extra charge, no argument. The coordinator, Priya, stayed on WhatsApp the whole time until we reached safely. Rest of the Sikkim trip went exactly as planned. Hotels were proper good, cabs always on time. Genuinely felt like someone was traveling with us.
Sikkim Package Cost Less Than My Shortlist
I had spent two weeks building my own Sikkim itinerary — comparing hotels on different platforms, checking cab rates, reading blogs. When I finally got a quote from TourGrids, it came in lower than what I had pieced together myself, and that included meals, a proper AC cab throughout, and decent 3-star hotels. My husband and I were honestly skeptical at first, but the coordinator walked us through every inclusion on call — no vague answers, no hidden charges at checkout. The properties were clean, the cab driver was punctual, and Gangtok especially felt well-planned. What we got for that price, I could not have matched booking separately.
Sikkim Cabs and Rooms Left Us Speechless
We had been planning a Sikkim trip for almost a year, and honestly the hotels TourGrids arranged just settled it for us — every property was clean, well-located, and genuinely comfortable. Traveled with my wife, and she kept saying each hotel felt personally picked, not just whatever was available. The cab transfers were equally solid — drivers showed up on time, knew the mountain roads well, and the vehicles were proper good condition. No surprises, no last-minute scrambling. Our coordinator Rohit was on WhatsApp throughout and sorted a room upgrade at Gangtok without us even asking twice. For a hill destination where logistics can get messy, everything moved exactly as planned.
Sikkim Hotels Alone Were Worth the Booking
Honestly, I was not expecting the properties in Sikkim to be this good for the price we paid. My wife and I had done budget trips before where the hotels looked nothing like the photos — but TourGrids actually delivered. The resort near Gangtok had a proper mountain view, clean rooms, good service. Every cab was on time, drivers knew the routes well, and there was zero confusion at any transfer point. Our coordinator Rahul was reachable throughout — sorted a room upgrade on call before we even checked in. No surprises on billing either, what was quoted is what we paid. Really solid experience overall.
