Sikkim Tour Package for 9 Days
Sikkim is not only a splendid natural retreat; it is also a gateway to the beautiful spiritual cultures of ancient Asia. Our new and improved Sikkim Tour Package for 9 Days makes sure the tourists experience the contrasting beauty of old traditions and modern living; our ethnic art and craft against the controversial but stunning colonial architecture left by the British. This is why we have combined the modern world of Gangtok with the traditional land of Lachung and Pelling - further adding a day in the bustling splendour of Darjeeling.
Read MoreGangtok is known for its serene city life, thanks to the great shopping spots at MG Marg and amazing views from Ganesh Tok and Tashi Perspectives. It has slowly grown to be the hill station that never sleeps with cafes and nightlife attracting tourists 24/7. When such a location is your starting point in the trip, you are sure to feel relaxed and rejuvenated even before you enter the natural beauty of North Sikkim with our 9 Day Sikkim Tour Package!
Keeping up the promise, Lachung brings to you sky-high peaks of the Greater Himalayas that remain sandy and snow-covered throughout the year.
