Introduction

This 5 Nights 6 Days Gangtok Lachung Package offers you an incredible journey through the breathtaking landscapes and rich cultural heritage of Sikkim. Starting from Gangtok, the charming capital city nestled among the Himalayan mountains, you’ll experience the perfect blend of natural beauty and spiritual serenity. With the mighty Teesta River flowing nearby and lush green forests surrounding the city, Gangtok is a haven for travelers seeking both adventure and tranquility. One of the must-visit attractions here is the Do-Drul Chorten, a stupa encircled by 108 prayer wheels. Built in 1946 by the revered Tibetan lama Trulshig Rinpoche to drive away evil spirits, this site holds immense spiritual significance and showcases the deep Buddhist traditions of the region.

During your stay in Gangtok, you’ll also explore the Namgyal Institute of Tibetology, a museum dedicated to preserving the art, culture, and history of the Tibetan community. Its vast library houses one of the largest collections of Tibetan manuscripts outside Tibet, making it a fascinating stop for history buffs and culture enthusiasts alike. Another unique natural attraction is the Bakthang Waterfall, whose name means “jungle meadow” in the local language, known for its unusual horizontal flow of water rather than a steep fall, creating a soothing and picturesque environment. Ganesh Tok temple offers panoramic views of the city and the surrounding mountains, including the majestic Khangchendzonga peak on clear days, perfect for memorable photographs.

One of the highlights of this Gangtok Lachung tour package is the visit to Changu or Tsomgo Lake, a stunning glacial lake situated at an altitude of about 3,753 meters. This lake remains frozen for much of the year and offers unique experiences like yak rides and cable car rides, which provide a bird’s-eye view of the spectacular landscape. Nearby is a sacred Shiva temple, revered by locals and adding a spiritual dimension to your visit. You will also have the opportunity to visit Nathula Pass, one of the highest motorable passes in the world, located at 14,140 feet. In Tibetan it is known as “listening ears pass,” Nathula offers majestic views of the Himalayas and a chance to step away from the usual tourist spots for a peaceful, awe-inspiring experience.

From Gangtok, your journey continues with the scenic drive to Lachung, a sleepy mountain town located at 9,600 feet altitude. The word Lachung means “small pass,” and the village is famously described by Joseph Dalton Hooker as one of the most picturesque in Sikkim. This tranquil town is less cold than nearby Lachen and is known for its authentic Tibetan cuisine, giving you a taste of local flavors during your stay. While in Lachung, you can visit the Lachung Monastery, which houses ancient sculptures and beautiful wall murals, and shop for locally made rugs, shawls, and carpets, crafted by the talented village artisans.

Another breathtaking destination included in this package is Yumthang Valley, also called the Valley of Flowers, located at an altitude of 11,693 feet in North Sikkim. The valley is cradled by the Himalayas and is home to the flowing Lachung Chu river, numerous hot springs, and grazing yaks. The best time to visit Yumthang is from February to June, when wildflowers are in full bloom, painting the valley with vibrant colors. If you visit during the winter months from September to December, you can experience the frozen lakes and snow-covered peaks, which offer a different yet equally stunning spectacle.

This Gangtok Lachung Yumthang tour package is perfectly designed to showcase the diverse natural beauty and cultural richness of Sikkim. The ideal time to visit is between April and June when the weather is pleasant and the valleys burst with rhododendrons and orchids in full bloom. Summer temperatures range from 12 to 28 degrees Celsius, creating a comfortable climate for sightseeing and outdoor activities. During the winter months, the landscape transforms into a snowy wonderland, offering a magical experience for travelers who enjoy colder climates and snow-covered vistas.

For those who want to explore even further, the package also includes visits to Zero Point in Sikkim, a high-altitude destination offering some of the most pristine views of the Himalayan range. The route from Gangtok to Zero Point is a scenic drive that adds an adventurous edge to your trip, allowing you to witness the untouched beauty of Sikkim’s rugged terrain.
