Gangtok & Lachung Himalayan Tour
Gangtok • Tsomgo Lake • Baba Mandir • Lachung • Yumthang Valley. Experience the Himalayan beauty of Sikkim with a journey through Gangtok and the mountain town of Lachung, including scenic waterfalls, Singhik View Point and the spectacular Yumthang Valley.
What Makes This Journey Meaningful
This journey pairs Sikkim's mountain capital with the remote beauty of North Sikkim — the high-altitude Tsomgo Lake and revered Baba Mandir near Gangtok, then a spectacular road journey past Singhik View Point, Seven Sister and Naga Waterfalls to the mountain town of Lachung. The reward is a morning in Yumthang Valley — the Valley of Flowers of Sikkim — with an optional excursion to Yume Samdong (Zero Point) near the snowline. With three nights in Gangtok and one night in Lachung, the itinerary balances comfort with a genuine Himalayan expedition feel.
