Why Travelers Fall
in Love With Sikkim
Tucked between the Himalayas and the Tibetan plateau, Sikkim is a land of prayer flags, glacial lakes, and roads that climb into the clouds. From the buzzing cafes of MG Marg in Gangtok to the silent, snow-blanketed stretch of Zero Point, this is one state where every hour of driving rewards you with a completely different landscape.
Our 7-day itinerary balances the capital's comforts with the raw, high-altitude beauty of North Sikkim — including the permit-protected Nathula Pass and Tsomgo Lake, without over-packing your days.
