Overview

Overview of Gangtok, Lachen, Lachung and Pelling

Nestled in the pristine Himalayas, Gangtok, Lachen, Lachung and Pelling are among the most picturesque destinations in Sikkim, India.

Gangtok, the capital city, is a vibrant blend of modernity and tradition. It offers breathtaking views of Mount Kanchenjunga, bustling MG Marg, and cultural landmarks like Rumtek Monastery and Enchey Monastery. The city is also a gateway to adventure activities like paragliding and river rafting.

Lachen, a quaint mountain village, serves as the base for the stunning Gurudongmar Lake, one of the highest lakes in the world. Surrounded by snow-capped peaks, Lachen is known for its serene atmosphere and traditional Bhutia culture.

Lachung, another charming Himalayan village, is famous for the Yumthang Valley, also called the "Valley of Flowers." The valley blooms with rhododendrons in spring and transforms into a snow-covered wonderland in winter. Lachung Monastery and hot springs nearby add to its appeal.

Pelling, located in West Sikkim, offers panoramic views of the mighty Kanchenjunga. It is home to the ancient Pemayangtse Monastery, the stunning Rabdentse Ruins, and the scenic Kanchenjunga Waterfalls. Skywalks and adventure activities make Pelling a must-visit destination.

These four destinations together offer a perfect mix of nature, adventure, and cultural experiences.
