About The Tour

If there is a north star you follow or wish to follow, you would hope that it leads you to North Sikkim. The breathtaking view of the snow capped mountains, the fragrance of exotic flowers, the silence of the sparkling lakes and the gurgling of Teesta river makes North Sikkim a destination that no nature lover can afford to miss. The Offbeat North Sikkim tour takes you on an unforgettable tour to the magical mountains of Sikkim. Landscape changes rapidly on every curve as your road winds upwards and you realize you have arrived in a different world altogether. Experience the culture, embrace the chilly winds, feast on the sumptuous traditional meals and pay homage to the mountains as you tighten your thick jackets on this roller coaster mountainous tour. The only place you can go from here is down.

You will be visiting Lachen, Lachung, Gurudongmar Lake, Yumthang valley, Yumesamdong (Zero Point) and Kabi (which has a nice farmstay and is not too far from Gangtok).
