Gangtok & Tsomgo Lake Getaway

A quick Himalayan break: Gangtok, the frozen Tsomgo Lake, Baba Mandir and MG Marg evenings. Sikkim packs snow-fed lakes, rhododendron valleys and centuries-old monasteries into one small Himalayan state. Stand beside the frozen Tsomgo Lake, drive to the Indo-China border at Nathu La, wake up to Kanchenjunga from Pelling and walk among the flowers of Yumthang Valley in North Sikkim. This 3-night package is fully customisable — upgrade hotels, add nights or activities and see the price update instantly.

Day-wise itinerary

1. 1
   Day 1 · GangtokArrive at Bagdogra / NJP → Gangtok

   Your driver meets you at Bagdogra airport (IXB) or New Jalpaiguri station (NJP) for the drive to Gangtok, about 4–5 hours along the Teesta river with a tea break at Teesta Bazaar or Rangpo. Check in at your hotel and relax — Gangtok sits at 5,400 ft, so take it easy on the first evening. If you feel up to it, stroll along pedestrian-only MG Marg for momos and a hot drink.

   Overnight: Gangtok
2. 2
   Day 2 · GangtokTsomgo Lake & Baba Mandir

   An early start for the 38 km climb to Tsomgo (Changu) Lake at 12,400 ft — a glacial lake that is often frozen from January to March. Continue to Baba Harbhajan Singh Mandir, the shrine revered by the soldiers who guard this border. Nathu La (Indo-China border pass, open Wednesday to Sunday) can be added on the day, subject to permits and weather. Carry warm layers, sunglasses and your ID — protected-area permits are arranged by us. Back in Gangtok by late afternoon.
