Kanchenjunga, the capital city of Gangtok is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the state.

Gangtok is perfect for an adventurous getaway known for its mountain peaks ideal for trekking, bright Rhododendrons, spectacular views and heritage sites. Banjhakri Falls, Seven Sisters Waterfalls and Tsomgo Lake add to the region’s natural beauty, while the Flower Exhibition Centre and Himalayan Zoological Park are excellent for exploring its biodiversity. Also, make sure to visit the Baba Harbhajan Singh Temple, Ganesh Tok, Rumtek Monastery and Hanuman Tok.

Pelling is a picturesque destination known for its impressive monasteries like the Sangachoeling Monastery and Pemayangtse Monastery, the ruins of the Old Rabdentse Palace, Rimbi River and small Rimbi Waterfall.

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Kanchenjunga National Park is a must-visit owing to its diverse flora and fauna, comprising the Himalayan Tahr, Snow Leopard and maple, as well as majestic glaciers. Next, head over to Chopta Valley, nicknamed the “Valley of Flowers,” to explore its green valleys filled with colourful flowers and to discover its varied flora and fauna.

Some of these places may be challenging to access without proper guidance. With a tour package in Sikkim, you can explore off-the-beaten-path destinations like Yumthang Valley or the sacred Khecheopalri Lake, ensuring you don't miss out on the hidden gems of the region.

Safety and Support: Reputable tour operators prioritize the safety and well-being of their customers.
