This six-night circuit extends the classic Darjeeling-Gangtok trip with the spectacular North Sikkim leg at Lachung. You start with two nights in Darjeeling for the Tiger Hill sunrise over Kanchenjunga, then two nights in Gangtok with the high Tsongmo Lake excursion. The finale is two nights in Lachung, the base for the Yumthang Valley, known as the Valley of Flowers when rhododendrons bloom in spring, and the dramatic Zero Point excursion at around 15,300ft amid snow and glacial streams. Bagdogra airport transfers, inter-city transport and the North Sikkim permit are all included, along with hotels. North Sikkim roads and the Zero Point leg are highly weather- and permit-dependent, so flexibility is essential, but the alpine payoff is unmatched. starting at INR 25,000 per person. Covers Darjeeling 2N, Gangtok 2N, Lachung (North Sikkim) 2N.
