Top Places to Visit in Sikkim

1. Gangtok – The Heart of Sikkim

The capital city is where most journeys begin. Gangtok is a perfect mix of nature and urban vibes cozy cafes, local markets, ropeways, and a stunning view of Mt. Kanchenjunga on a clear day.

Don’t miss:

• MG Road (for shopping and cafes)

• Tashi Viewpoint

• Namgyal Institute of Tibetology

• Ganesh Tok & Hanuman Tok

2. Tsomgo Lake & Nathula Pass – The Snowy Adventures

Located just a few hours from Gangtok, Tsomgo Lake is a high-altitude glacial lake, surrounded by snow in winter and wildflowers in summer. Further ahead, Nathula Pass sits on the Indo-China border — one of the highest motorable roads in India.

Permit required: Yes (Tripzee Holidays handles it for you)

3. Lachen & Gurudongmar Lake – Pure Magic at High Altitudes

Lachen is a peaceful village, and from here you travel to Gurudongmar Lake, one of the world’s highest lakes at over 17,000 ft. The views are surreal, the air is thin, and the feeling is unforgettable.

Pro tip: Leave early in the morning and carry warm clothes — it gets freezing cold even in summer!

4. Lachung & Yumthang Valley – The Valley of Flowers

Lachung is the gateway to Yumthang Valley, often called Sikkim’s own Valley of Flowers. In spring, the valley is covered in rhododendrons and wildflowers, with hot springs and rivers adding to the charm.

Best season to visit Yumthang: March to May

5. Pelling – For Peace & Kanchenjunga Views

If you love calm towns with big mountain views, you’ll love Pelling. Visit monasteries, waterfalls, and the Sky Walk — India’s first glass sky bridge — with Mt. Kanchenjunga always in the background.

These lesser-known gems offer stunning views and peaceful vibes. Ravangla is famous for the Buddha Park, while Namchi has the massive Char Dham complex with replicas of India’s holy temples.
