In the lap of Mother Nature, Sikkim is like a beautiful baby of the North Eastern states in India. This small state has so much to offer that it sometimes surprises the visitors. Adventure, nature, spiritualism, cultural and most importantly peace of mind, Sikkim is one of those places that some might call too good to be true. However, the fact remains, there exists a place as unbelievable as Sikkim that makes all the wishes of an avid traveller come true. In our 6N/7D tour, we offer the chance to explore the lesser explored part of Sikkim i.e., North Sikkim. This tour guarantees to take you on a journey of a fairytale land where landscape and terrains and ambience are such that you may not want to return.
Boosting your enthusiasm is Gangtok that offers a teaser of what is about to come. The state capital makes an ideal base camp for North Sikkim. We will take it slow in Gangtok and unveil each of its aspect ensuring nothing important is missed out or overlooked. In our itinerary will be included local sightseeing tour in and around Gangtok. We shall visit Tashi view point, Ganesh Tok, Hanuman Tok and Rumtek Monastery/ Jhakri Falls. We will also take you to Institute of Tibetology to have a glance of Tibetan antiques; Orchid House (Collection of Himalayan orchids), Enchay Monastery, Dodurl Chorten and M G Marg, a busy market of Gangtok.

Also, as we ensure a slow paced tour in Gangtok, Day 2 will be kept for sightseeing of places around Gangtok like Tsongmo Lake, Baba Mandir and Nathu Pass.
While you still have memories of two days in Gangtok in your head, we will introduce you to North Sikkim by visiting Lachen via the Seven Sister Falls. Lachen is famed for its alpine lake Gurudongmar that remains frozen in winter and has crystal clear water in the summer.
