8 Days / 7 Nights

₹75,999 ₹55,999 / person

Tour Overview

This tour covers the Eastern Himalayas in 8 days, starting from the misty valleys of Darjeeling to the rugged snow-dusted ridges of North Sikkim. You’ll start in Gangtok, driving up steep mountain roads to the high-altitude, glassy waters of Tsomgo Lake, before heading further north into the raw landscapes of Lachung and the alpine meadows of the Yumthang Valley. From there, the route carries you down to Darjeeling, where the jagged peaks soften into endless rolling tea gardens and colonial-era charm. You'll wrap up the trip watching a spectacular sunrise light up Mount Kanchenjunga from Tiger Hill and taking slow walks past peaceful monasteries. It’s a beautifully managed loop that handles all the complex mountain permits and steep drives for you.
