Overview & Highlights
Begin your journey from Gangtok, the capital city of Sikkim - a bustling hill town, that charms visitors with its pleasant weather, vibrant markets, and delectable street food. The famous MG Marg is a hub of activity, where visitors can shop for local handicrafts and savor mouthwatering cuisine. Further, you will embark on a full-day excursion to Tsomgo Lake, also known as Changu Lake. This glacial lake, surrounded by majestic mountains, is believed to foretell the future through the changing colors of its waters, as predicted by Buddhist monks. The journey continues to Baba Mandir, a shrine dedicated to Baba Harbhajan Singh, an Indian Army soldier. The legend goes that his spirit protects and guides the soldiers in the region, making it a place of great reverence.
The next leg of the journey leads to Lachen, a quaint village in North Sikkim. En route, you'll witness the magnificent Naga Falls and the confluence of the Lachen and Lachung Rivers at Chungthang Village. The journey through the Kanchenjunga National Park is an opportunity to appreciate the region's rich biodiversity. Lachen serves as a gateway to Gurudongmar Lake, one of the highest lakes in the country. The lake, named after Guru Padmasambhava, offers awe-inspiring views and is considered sacred by both Buddhists and Sikhs. The journey then takes you to Lachung, where you'll visit Yumthang Valley, often referred to as the "valley of flowers." This picturesque valley showcases a stunning variety of rhododendrons and other alpine flowers. You can also take a relaxing dip in the hot springs of Yumthang Valley, which is truly a rejuvenating experience.
The itinerary concludes with a return to Gangtok, leaving visitors with cherished memories of the journey. Sikkim, with its majestic lakes, enchanting valleys, and spiritual significance, offers a captivating experience that lingers in the hearts of all who visit.

“We three best friends travelled to Bir Biling - Kasol - Rudranag in 1st week of February 2020 and did not regret our decision of opting for wandeOn at all. As we were only girls, it was important for us to travel with a trusted group and wanderon definitely is that. We not only had awesome time together but were sure that our tour captain, Bunny always cared about our safety. WanderOn makes sure that you have best experience of your lifetime and gives you a chance to know and gel up with new people. As a suggestion, they need to conduct a background check on the hotels where the travellers are asked to stay and also need to add the miscellaneous exp (cost of zero degree jackets/ socks/ shoes, etc.) in the package separately because that will help one to plan his/ her budget accordingly. Overall, if you wish to make memories and new friends I would strongly recommend WanderOn. Thank you WanderOn and Bunny for an awesome trip and for unforgettable memories😀😀

“Planning a solo trip comes with a lot questions. So being no exception, I too was very skeptical of going solo. After a lot of planning I booked my travel with WanderOn for Bir Kasol.Starting from Delhi I met some of the most awesome humans including our tour Captain Bunny, which made me believe this trip is going to be awesome. Right from Paragliding to spending coolest night(-15°C) at Rudranag, everything was well organised and coordinated by WanderOn.

“I recently went to Bir billing and Kasol kheerganga trek with wanderon. For service and arrangements I would say just awesome. You won't find any other good travel team. I booked this trip for 11 people and later on before a week i need to cancel 1 person still they managed me to give refund for some amount without any questions or hurdles. Thank you so much Madhuri for making a perfect arrangements for my 10 people and thanks for answering my all queries (silly question also 😉). The Tour captain, Bunny ,you are very responsible person along with too good humour. You always entertained us with full energy. You keeped watch on every person to make him/her happy. You are really a nice human being. For food, Bunny has made very nice arrangements. Our another tour captain Prince is also a good person who guided us every day with and became member of my group. The arrangements of tent was very luxurious.I celebrated December 31st night with wanderon group on the peak of Rudranaag trek. The arrangements were very perfect. I never celebrated like this. It was life time experience.Some last words, if you want to explore the India with young crowd just close your eyes and choose wanderon. You won't regret.
