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
