Overview

Round up your favorite people for a 5-night, fun-forward Sikkim adventure that blends thrills, photo ops, and chill time.

Shift gears to laid-back Pelling for sweeping Kanchenjunga views, the iconic Pelling Skywalk, waterfalls, and serene lakes. Expect comfortable stays, scenic transfers, knowledgeable local drivers, and ample free time to bond, laugh, and create stories you’ll retell for years. This is the perfect mix of adventure, culture, and nightlife-lite experiences tailored for friends.

Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival at Gangtok | MG Marg Vibes & Café Crawl

Land at Bagdogra Airport (IXB) or arrive at NJP Railway Station and drive to Gangtok (4–5 hrs). En route, time permitting, opt for a Teesta River viewpoint stop. Check in, freshen up, and head to MG Marg for a relaxed café crawl, momos and thukpa tasting, and live music or karaoke at a local lounge. Overnight in Gangtok.

After breakfast, kick off with optional paragliding at Baliman Dara (weather dependent). Continue to the Gangtok Ropeway for bird’s-eye views, then visit Banjhakri Falls, Handicrafts Centre, Tashi View Point, and Ranka Monastery. Breaks for coffee and bakery treats along the way. Evening free for board games and a friendly pool or darts challenge. Overnight in Gangtok.

Post breakfast, drive to high-altitude Tsomgo (Changu) Lake and Baba Harbhajan Singh Mandir. Try snow play or a yak ride in season. If permits are secured and the route is open, add Nathula Pass (Indo–China border) for epic group photos. Return to Gangtok by evening for a relaxed dinner and dessert trail. Overnight in Gangtok.

Check out and drive to Pelling (approx. 5–6 hrs). En route, stop at Temi Tea Garden for plantation views and a refreshing cuppa, and visit Ravangla’s Buddha Park for serene frames. Arrive in Pelling, check in, and head to Pelling Helipad for a golden-hour hangout if skies are clear. Optional bonfire and music session at the stay. Overnight in Pelling.

Today, cover Pelling’s greatest hits: Pelling Skywalk and the towering Chenrezig statue, Rabdentse Ruins, Khecheopalri (Wishing) Lake, Rimbi River, and the thundering Kanchenjunga Falls. If time permits, extend to Singshore Suspension Bridge for dramatic valley shots. Return to town for souvenir shopping—think tea, handmade crafts, and local munchies. Overnight in Pelling.

Check out and drive to NJP/Bagdogra. If you have a late departure and the season allows, opt for Teesta River rafting near Melli (payable locally). Transfer to the railway station/airport with a camera roll full of group memories.
