Itinerary

Day1

Arrival, Transfer & Acclimatization in Gangtok

Arrive at Bagdogra / NJP railway station / Siliguri and transfer to Gangtok (4–5 hours). Check into the hotel and rest. Short, gentle stroll around MG Marg in the evening. Pre-trip briefing with your trek leader and kit check. Keep hydrated and avoid strenuous activity to aid acclimatization.

Day2

Drive to Lachen via Chungthang — Scenic Stops & Preparations

Early morning drive to Lachen (approx. 6-7 hours) through beautiful valleys. En route visit Chungthang, Seven Sisters Waterfall, and stop for photo breaks overlooking the Teesta River. Reach Lachen, check-in, and short orientation about high-altitude camping. Rest early to prepare for the next day's early excursion.

Day3

Gurudongmar Lake Excursion & High-Altitude Camp Experience

Start very early (pre-dawn) for the drive to Gurudongmar Lake (17,800 ft) with stop at Thangu for acclimatization. Spend time at the shimmering Gurudongmar Lake, absorb the surreal high-altitude landscape and take photos. On selected departures enjoy an overnight high-altitude camp near Thangu / Gurudongmar to experience Himalayan night skies (subject to permits and weather). Acute mountain sickness precautions and oxygen support included.

Day4

Transfer to Lachung — Village Walk & Cultural Interaction

Descend and drive to Lachung after breakfast. En route admire waterfalls and pine-clad slopes. Check into the guesthouse in Lachung and take a leisurely village walk to interact with local communities. Evening briefing for the Yumthang trek/Zero Point. Carry warm layers and rain protection — mountain weather is unpredictable.

Day5

Yumthang Valley & Optional Zero Point Trek with Overnight Camp

Explore Yumthang Valley (the 'Valley of Flowers') — walk among rhododendron forests (seasonal), hot springs, and alpine meadows. For adventure seekers, undertake the trek to Zero Point (additional permit & guide required) for snowfields and vast panoramas; return to Yumthang for an overnight camping experience or a comfortable guesthouse stay depending on conditions. Zero Point is at higher altitude; proceed only if well-acclimatized.

Day6

Return to Gangtok — Relaxation & Optional Local Sightseeing

Drive back to Gangtok with scenic stops en route. Check into the hotel and relax. Optional short visits to Enchey Monastery or local markets depending on time. Final group dinner with your trekking crew to celebrate the challenge completed. Hydrate well and rest — travel day can be long.

Day7

Departure from Gangtok

After breakfast, transfer to Bagdogra / NJP / Siliguri for your onward journey. End of the Sikkim Adventure Challenge. Check your belongings and ensure all permits and certificates (if any) are collected.
