Sikkim & Darjeeling — 8N/9D

9 Days 8 Nights

Eight nights pairing Lachung's Chungthang and Yumthang valley with Gangtok's Char Dham, Pelling's Pemayangtse and Darjeeling's Tiger Hill.

Why Sikkim

Sikkim is one of India's smallest and most beautiful states — a vertical landscape that rises from subtropical river valleys to glaciers above 5,000 metres in under 100 kilometres. Monasteries cling to ridgelines, prayer flags snap in the wind above alpine lakes, and Kanchenjunga — the world's third-highest mountain — watches over it all. This itinerary brings together the best of this extraordinary destination.

What This Package Covers

This 8-night, 9-day journey covers — Gangtok, Lachung, Pelling, Darjeeling. The itinerary is paced to allow genuine engagement with each location rather than a hurried check-in and check-out. Gangtok anchors the route, with high-altitude drives into North Sikkim and cultural detours in West Sikkim and Darjeeling woven in according to the schedule. Meals included: Selected Meals.

Key Experiences

North Sikkim's Gurudongmar Lake, at 5,183 metres, is one of the highest lakes in the world — a site sacred to both Sikhs and Buddhists, surrounded by glacier-scraped moraine and 360-degree Himalayan views. Yumthang Valley's wildflower meadows are equally arresting, particularly during the spring rhododendron bloom. Darjeeling adds a colonial-era chapter to the journey: Tiger Hill sunrise views of Kanchenjunga, the UNESCO-listed Darjeeling Himalayan Railway toy train, and tea-estate walks through some of the world's most famous high-grown gardens.

Accommodation & Meals

All stays are in 4 Star / 5 Star hotels selected for cleanliness, warmth, and location relative to the day's activities. Selected meals are included as noted in the itinerary; additional dining options are available locally.

Secure Your Place in Sikkim

Inner Line Permits for North Sikkim, all hotel bookings, and every road transfer are arranged on your behalf. Travel in one of India's most rewarding but logistically complex states is made seamless. Book your preferred departure date before availability closes.
