You'll spend three nights in Gangtok with a permit-run excursion to Tsomgo Lake and Baba Mandir, then cross to West Sikkim for two nights in Pelling, where the sun rises straight onto the world's third-highest mountain.

Glacial Tsomgo Lake, Rumtek Monastery and Kanchenjunga views from Pelling in the cleanest state in India.

Transport: Private Innova/Xylo with Sikkimese driver; shared or reserved Tsomgo vehicles as per permit rules

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Do Indians need a permit for Tsomgo Lake?

Yes. A protected-area permit is needed for Tsomgo and Nathu La. Send us two passport photos and ID 48 hours before; the permit is applied for in Gangtok.

Is Nathu La always open?

Nathu La is open on select days (usually Wednesday to Sunday) and only to Indian nationals. It may close at short notice for weather or security.

Will we definitely see Kanchenjunga?

Clear views are most likely from October to December and in March and April mornings. Monsoon clouds often hide the peaks from June to September.

Is Sikkim safe for solo women travellers?

Sikkim is considered one of India's safest states. Our drivers are verified locals and we share live contact details.
