Introduction

Sikkim is a state in northeast India, bordered by Bhutan, Tibet, and Nepal. Part of the Himalayas, the area has a dramatic landscape that includes India’s highest mountain, 8,586m Kangchenjunga. Sikkim is also home to glaciers, alpine meadows, and thousands of varieties of wildflowers, making it one of the most captivating destinations in India. This 5 nights and 6 days Gangtok and Pelling package lets you explore the natural beauty, spirituality, and cultural richness of this Himalayan state at your own pace.

This Gangtok and Pelling package begins from Gangtok, the capital city of Sikkim, which is nestled among majestic mountain valleys with the River Teesta flowing by its side. Gangtok offers a vibrant mix of serenity and adventure. You can enjoy a relaxing walk on M.G. Road, a clean open-air mall bustling with cafes, shops, and local markets. One of the key attractions of Gangtok is the Rumtek Monastery, famous for its peaceful ambience and impressive Buddha statue. The Ban Jhakri Waterfalls provide a refreshing retreat into nature, while the Namgyal Institute of Tibetology offers deep insights into Tibetan culture and Buddhism. From Tashi View Point, you can catch a panoramic view of the Eastern Himalayas, including the snow-capped peaks of Khangchendzonga.

A major highlight of this Gangtok and Darjeeling package is the day trip to Tsomgo Lake (also known as Changu Lake), a glacial lake located just 40 kilometers from Gangtok. It remains frozen for most of the year and is surrounded by breathtaking views. You can enjoy a Yak ride here or visit the lakeside Shiva Temple considered sacred by the locals. For a bird’s-eye view, try the local cable car ride. Another must-visit is Nathula Pass, one of the highest motorable roads in the world. The name Nathula means “listening ears pass” in Tibetan. Perched at an altitude of 14,140 feet, this high mountain pass offers majestic views of the Himalayas and is a quiet, uncrowded destination compared to other tourist spots.

From Gangtok to Pelling, the journey takes you deeper into Sikkim’s untouched landscapes. Pelling tour is ideal for those who want to enjoy tranquil mountain scenery, Buddhist heritage, and local charm. Located in the western part of Sikkim, Pelling offers stunning views of the Khangchendzonga range. Among the places to visit on this Pelling tour package are the Khangchendzonga Waterfalls, known for their majestic presence, and the Rimbi Waterfall, where you can also enjoy activities like fishing and swimming.

The serene Khecheopalri Lake, believed to fulfill wishes, is another gem of Pelling. Local belief holds that not even a single leaf is allowed to float on its surface, as birds quickly pick them up to maintain the lake’s sanctity. The lake appears to be shaped like a foot from an elevated viewpoint and is revered by both Hindus and Buddhists.

Also included in your Gangtok Pelling tour is a visit to the Rabdentse Ruins, which were once the second capital of the Kingdom of Sikkim. Though now in ruins, the site offers breathtaking views of the mountains and a glimpse into Sikkim’s royal past. The Pemayangtse Monastery is another key highlight of this region. One of the oldest and most significant monasteries in Sikkim, it was built for "pure monks" of the Tibetan lineage. The monastery offers an excellent opportunity to witness the monastic lifestyle and practice meditation.

Ideal for families, couples, and solo travelers alike, this tour captures the essence of Sikkim and leaves you with memories to cherish for a lifetime.
