Detailed Itinerary

Day 1 IXB/NJP to Gangtok

On arrival at Bagdogra Airport (IXB) or New Jalpaiguri Railway Station (NJP), our representative will warmly welcome you and assist you to the vehicle for your journey to Gangtok. Enjoy a scenic drive through the Mahananda Wildlife Sanctuary, lush tea gardens, waterfalls, and picturesque mountain valleys. Upon reaching Gangtok, check in at the hotel and relax. We recommend an early sleep for the next day's tour. Overnight stay at Gangtok.

Start early with a heavy breakfast before heading to Tsomgo Lake (Alt 12,000 ft), a high-altitude alpine lake near the Indo-China border. The 1 km long, 15-meter-deep sacred lake remains frozen during winter. Enjoy the serene surroundings, play in the snow, and try a yak ride. Next, visit the legendary Baba Harbhajan Singh Mandir, dedicated to an Indian soldier believed to continue his duty even after his demise.

Return to the hotel for a late lunch. In the evening, explore MG Marg, a vehicle-free shopping and leisure area perfect for a stroll. Overnight stay at Gangtok.
