Sikkim - Greens..White & Gravel Beauty.. (Part 2 - North Sikkim)

The most exciting part of the trip is here.. exploring the beautiful region of North Sikkim.


North Sikkim is a must visit. The mountains & gravel make for long tiring drives, but the views & the stunning beauty of the place is totally worth it. We opted for a 2-Nights/3-Days package trip conducted by Galaxy travels (Gangtok). To visit these places you require a permit which the travel operator will obtain for you on submission of copies of  ID & address proof.It is best to book a private vehicle instead of a shared one, as shared ones have 7-8 passengers in one vehicle & the way up is very rugged. 

Highlights:
  • Gurudongmar Lake
  • Glimpses of Teestha river along the way
  • Breakfast at a local's home
  • Snow clad coniferous trees at Yumthang valley
  • Dom Bang
