Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival at Gangtok + Ropeway and Forest Trail Warm‑Up

Arrive at Bagdogra (IXB) or New Jalpaiguri (NJP) and drive to Gangtok (approx. 4–5 hours). Check in and refresh, then hop on the Gangtok Ropeway for sweeping valley and town panoramas. Stretch your legs on a gentle forest walk to Enchey Monastery or Ganesh Tok, pausing at Bakthang Waterfall for photos. Evening at leisure around MG Marg’s cafes and bakeries. Adventure briefing and gear check for the week.

Ascend to the glacial Tsomgo (Changu) Lake at roughly 12,000 ft. In season, enjoy snow play or tube sledding; yak rides are optional. Continue to Baba Harbhajan Singh Mandir. If permits and weather allow, extend to Nathula Pass (India–China border; closed Mon/Tue; supplement applies). Return to Gangtok via Tashi View Point. Hydrate well and move slowly to adapt to altitude.

Drive to the Teesta rafting put‑in near Melli/Rangpo. After a comprehensive safety briefing, tackle Grade II–III rapids on a scenic 8–12 km stretch with certified river guides, helmets, and PFDs. Post‑lunch, head to Reshithang/Baliman Dara for a tandem paragliding flight (10–15 minutes; weather dependent), soaring above terraced hills and Gangtok’s skyline. Evening free for a momo trail or local craft brews.

Depart Gangtok for Pelling (approx. 4–5 hours), with optional photo breaks at Temi Tea Garden or Ravangla Buddha Park. Check in, then step onto the glass‑bottom Pelling Skywalk leading to the towering Chenrezig statue for jaw‑dropping valley views. Time permitting, take a sunset ridge hike to the serene Sangachoeling Monastery.

Start at the dramatic Singshore Suspension Bridge—among India’s highest—for panoramic shots and a breezy walk. Continue to Kanchenjunga Falls and Rimbi for short nature walks. Drive to Khecheopalri Lake and hike to the upper viewpoint for a bird’s‑eye panorama. Optional add‑ons: guided mountain biking around Darap village or a soft‑adventure farm‑to‑forest walk. Wind down with an optional bonfire at the resort (subject to permissions).

After breakfast, drive back to Bagdogra Airport or NJP Railway Station (approx. 5–6 hours). En route, pick up organic tea or seasonal oranges from local cooperatives. Depart with unforgettable Himalayan memories and an adrenaline glow.
