Tucked away in the eastern Himalayas, Sikkim is one of those places that feels different from the moment you arrive — cleaner air, quieter roads, and mountains that seem to follow you everywhere you go. Our Sikkim trip packages are designed to help you experience the best of this state in just 6 days and 5 nights, covering Gangtok's buzzing local life, the high-altitude calm of Tsomgo Lake, and the raw beauty of North Sikkim's Lachung valley. Whether you're planning a family holiday, a honeymoon, or looking through Sikkim tour packages for a group trip, this itinerary hits the right balance of sightseeing, altitude, and rest. If you've been searching for Sikkim tours packages that actually cover the must-see Sikkim tour places without rushing you through them, this is it.
On arrival at Bagdogra airport or NJP railway station, our team or driver will receive and greet you, then transfer you to Gangtok — a scenic drive of roughly 4 to 5 hours along the Teesta river. On reaching, check in to your hotel and spend the rest of the day at leisure. This is a good evening to walk around MG Marg, Gangtok's pedestrian-only market street, and get your first proper look at the Sikkim Himalaya skyline before it gets dark. Night halt at Gangtok.
Start early for a half-day trip to Tsomgo Lake, sitting at around 12,400 ft and only 32 km from Gangtok city. The lake stretches close to a kilometre and freezes over in winter, and it's considered sacred by the local community. From there, continue about 12 km further to the Baba Harbhajan Singh Mandir. This excursion is subject to permit availability and weather conditions — the route stays closed on Mondays, and any supplement cost needs to be confirmed and informed at least 48 hours in advance. Return to Gangtok by the afternoon. Night halt at Gangtok
After breakfast, head out to cover Gangtok's key sightseeing spots — Tashi View Point, Ganesh Tok, Hanuman Tok, Enchey Monastery, and the Handicraft Centre. Continue to Bonjhakri Waterfalls, the Dro-Dul Chorten, and the Institute of Tibetology before returning to your hotel. This day gives you a proper feel for why Gangtok remains one of the most visited Sikkim tour places, mixing monasteries, viewpoints, and local craft all in one loop. Evenings are free for shopping at your own cost. Night halt at Gangtok.
After an early breakfast, drive towards Lachung in North Sikkim, a journey of around 5 to 6 hours through changing landscapes — river valleys, pine forests, and waterfalls along the way. On arrival, check in to your hotel and spend the evening at leisure, taking in the quiet of this small mountain village before tomorrow's excursion into Yumthang Valley. Night halt at Lachung.
Set off early for Yumthang Valley, often called the "Valley of Flowers" for the rhododendrons that bloom across its slopes between March and June. Continue further, permits and weather permitting, to Zero Point, where snow-capped peaks sit right at eye level. This is one of the most photographed stretches of the entire Sikkim Himalaya region, and a highlight for anyone travelling on Sikkim travel packages that include North Sikkim. Return to Lachung by the afternoon for an overnight stay.
After breakfast, check out from your hotel and begin the drive back towards Bagdogra airport or NJP railway station for your onward journey. The route retraces much of the same scenic road, giving you one last look at the hills before you head home. Happy tour end.
The best time to visit is between February and June, when Yumthang Valley is in bloom, and again from September to December for clear mountain views. Winter months bring snowfall in higher areas like Tsomgo Lake, which is a draw in itself, though some routes may be temporarily closed due to weather.
Yes, Indian nationals need an Inner Line Permit for places like Tsomgo Lake, Baba Mandir, and Lachung, while foreign nationals require a separate Restricted Area Permit. These are typically arranged by your tour operator, but it's best to confirm and inform in advance, since permits depend on weather and availability.
