Day 3: Journey to the Valley of Flowers
Scenic Drive to Lachung
Embark on a 6-7 hour drive to Lachung in North Sikkim. This journey is an attraction in itself, with winding roads, cascading waterfalls, and changing landscapes from lush forests to alpine terrain. Your permits will be checked at multiple points.
Lunch En Route
Stop for a simple but hearty lunch at a small roadside restaurant in Mangan or Chungthang. The food is basic but provides an authentic taste of the region.
Check-in at Lachung
Arrive in the picturesque village of Lachung and check into your hotel or homestay. The air is crisp and the surroundings are incredibly peaceful. Take time to acclimatize to the higher altitude (approx. 8,600 ft).
Cozy Dinner in the Mountains

Optional Trip to Zero Point (Yumesamdong)
If the road is open and you're feeling well-acclimatized, continue your journey to Zero Point. At nearly 15,000 ft, this is where the civilian road ends. You'll be surrounded by a stunning 360-degree view of snow-clad mountains. It's a truly unforgettable experience.
Return to Lachung
After spending a magical morning in the snow, drive back to your hotel in Lachung.
Lunch and Relaxation

Day 6: The Sacred Frozen Lake - Tsomgo
Excursion to Tsomgo Lake
Embark on a day trip to the stunningly beautiful Tsomgo Lake, also known as Changu Lake. Located at an altitude of 12,400 ft, the glacial lake will be frozen or partially frozen in February, creating a breathtaking, surreal landscape. The surrounding snow-capped mountains add to its charm.
Visit Baba Harbhajan Singh Mandir

Hot Maggi & Tea at the Lake
