Leave behind the bustling energy of Kolkata and set out for the tranquil beauty of Sikkim – a Himalayan jewel known for its snow-covered peaks, crystal-clear lakes, verdant valleys, and centuries-old monasteries. From Gangtok, the vibrant capital with lively markets and breathtaking viewpoints, to Pelling, offering majestic views of the mighty Kanchenjunga, each destination reveals the region’s unmatched natural charm and cultural depth. With handpicked accommodations, expert-guided sightseeing, and seamless private transfers, our Sikkim tour packages from Kolkata ensure a stress-free journey. Every detail is perfectly planned so you can simply relax and soak in the mesmerizing Himalayan landscapes, creating unforgettable memories at every step.
Gangtok, the capital city of Sikkim, is the perfect place to begin your journey into the Himalayas. The city is a mix of cultural heritage and modern charm, with MG Marg being its vibrant heart where travelers can shop, dine, and enjoy the lively atmosphere. The Gangtok Ropeway offers a bird’s-eye view of the surrounding valleys and mountains, while the nearby attractions like Tsomgo Lake and Nathula Pass make Gangtok a must-visit destination.
One of the most iconic high-altitude passes in India, Nathula Pass connects Sikkim with Tibet and sits at a height of 14,140 feet. Once part of the ancient Silk Route, it now draws tourists for its breathtaking snow-covered landscapes and its historical significance. Visiting Nathula requires a special permit, but the journey is well worth the effort for the views alone.
Although technically in West Bengal, Darjeeling is often combined with Sikkim itineraries for its unmatched beauty. Perched at 6,700 feet, this hill station is world-famous for its lush tea estates, colonial architecture, and mesmerizing views of the Kanchenjunga range. Watching the sunrise from Tiger Hill is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and the UNESCO-recognized Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, fondly called the Toy Train, adds a nostalgic charm to the visit.
Pelling is a peaceful hill town that promises stunning views of the mighty Kanchenjunga and the surrounding Himalayan ranges. Unlike the busy streets of Gangtok, Pelling offers a more relaxed vibe, ideal for those who wish to unwind amidst nature. Its most unique attraction is the Pelling Skywalk, India’s first glass-bottom walkway, offering thrilling views of the Chenrezig Statue and the valleys below.
A quaint village in North Sikkim, Lachen is the base for the sacred Gurudongmar Lake. With its wooden houses, narrow lanes, and warm hospitality, the village retains an old-world charm that connects visitors to the simpler side of Himalayan life. Lachen’s ever-changing landscapes—green valleys in summer, rhododendron blooms in spring, and snowy blankets in winter—make it a destination for all seasons.
Lachung, another charming village in North Sikkim, is known for its apple orchards, cascading waterfalls, and picturesque surroundings. It serves as the gateway to the stunning Yumthang Valley and provides visitors with an authentic Himalayan experience, combining natural beauty with local culture.
Famously known as the “Switzerland of the East,” Yumthang Valley is a paradise of colourful rhododendrons, alpine meadows, and hot springs surrounded by snow-capped peaks. In spring, the valley transforms into a floral wonderland, making it one of the most enchanting places to visit in Sikkim.
Ravangla and Namchi, located in South Sikkim, are perfect for those seeking peace and spirituality. Ravangla is home to the iconic Buddha Park, featuring a 130-foot statue of Lord Buddha set against a serene backdrop. Namchi, on the other hand, is known for the magnificent Char Dham complex and Samdruptse Monastery, making it a significant spiritual hub of the state.
