If you’re looking to explore Sikkim beyond the usual, this North Sikkim group trip is where the real adventure begins. From the misty streets of Gangtok to the snow-covered heights of North Sikkim, this trip is your gateway to one of India's most breathtaking and underexplored states and we are taking you through every bit of it.
We kick things off in Gangtok, exploring the glacial Tsomgo Lake, the legendary Baba Mandir, and the iconic Nathula Pass, an actual Indo-China border post. As we push deeper into North Sikkim, the landscapes get wilder and the altitude gets higher. We make a stop at the sacred Gurudongmar Lake (17,800 ft) - one of the highest lakes in the world and a sight so stunning, it barely feels real.
From the flower-filled meadows of Yumthang Valley to the therapeutic hot springs of Lachung, every day on this trip brings a completely new experience. And just when you think it can't get better, we take you to Mount Katao at 14,400 ft - Sikkim's most stunning snow point and one of India's best-kept secrets.
7 days. 4 destinations. Countless memories. This is Sikkim the way it was meant to be explored and WanderOn is taking you there. Book your spot before it's gone!
