Weather and permits allowing, witness the stark beauty of Gurudongmar Lake (Indian nationals only) and the wildflower meadows of Yumthang, with an optional dash to Zero Point. Throughout, enjoy curated stays, reliable transfers, professional adventure operators, and safety-first planning to keep the focus on fun. Ideal between October and June, this itinerary balances heart-pounding activities with mindful acclimatization and unforgettable mountain scenery.

Itinerary

Day 1: Arrive NJP/Bagdogra – Transfer to Gangtok (1,650 m)

Welcome to Sikkim! Meet our representative at NJP Railway Station/Bagdogra Airport and drive 4–5 hours along the Teesta to Gangtok. Check in and unwind. Depending on arrival time, glide on the Gangtok Ropeway, visit Flower Exhibition Centre, or enjoy a café crawl on MG Marg. Acclimatize gently to the mountain air and rest early for the adventures ahead. Meals: Dinner.

Fuel up on breakfast before a safety briefing and tandem paragliding flight at Baliman Dara (weather-permitting) for sweeping Himalayan views. Later, head to the Teesta put‑in near Melli for a Grade II–III white-water rafting run (about 10–12 km) with helmets, life jackets, and certified river guides. Return to Gangtok by evening; optional Banjhakri Falls or ropeway if time allows. Meals: Breakfast & Dinner.

After breakfast, drive 6–7 hours to Lachen through North Sikkim’s dramatic valleys. En route, stop at Singhik View Point, Seven Sisters Waterfall, and Naga Falls for photo breaks. Complete permit checks, arrive in Lachen, and settle in. Keep hydrated, take a light walk to acclimatize, and enjoy a hot dinner under a starry sky. Meals: Breakfast & Dinner.

Start pre-dawn for Gurudongmar Lake (5,150 m)—a stark, sacred high-altitude gem accessible to Indian nationals only; foreigners have restrictions. Expect thin air, cold winds, and otherworldly vistas. Stop at Chopta Valley for snow play/short walks when in season. Return to Lachen, then drive 2–3 hours to Lachung via Chungthang. Check in and relax. Meals: Breakfast (packed) & Dinner.

Post breakfast, drive to Yumthang Valley (3,564 m), famed for meadows, rhododendrons (spring), and a sulphur hot spring. Opt to extend to Zero Point/Yumesamdong (subject to permits, weather, and local regulations; extra cost). Later, drive back to Gangtok (5–6 hours) and continue to NJP/Bagdogra for your onward journey, time permitting. Trip ends with alpine memories and epic stories. Meals: Breakfast.
