Enthralling Beauty Of North Sikkim

Tripoto
23rd Nov 2014

It was month of November, we four school friends planned to visit Sikkim. After long discussion over phone and facebook, we did a rough plan to cover north sikkim. We took train from Sealdah (Darjeeling Mail) and next day morning we reached New Jailpaiguri. There we had our breakfast and booked one shared Sumo to Gangtok. The shared sumo took Rs.200 for each and we reached there by 4pm. We didn't book any hotel so we searched few and found one suitable hotel, Babu Mosai (owner may be fan of Rajesh Khanna ) at M.G Marg. As it was month of November, so we got a 3 bed room in a reasonable price.

There were plenty of travel agencies at Gangtok, they provide good package for all the tourist places, and the best part of it that you can bargain as much as you want.

We booked 3 nights and 4 days package for North Sikkim (Lachen,Lachung,Gurudongmar Lake,Yumthung Valley) including food and lodging. The whole package cost was around Rs 22,000 for Xylo.

Also we covered one day sight seen in Gangtok including Nathula Pass and Tsomgo Lake(Changu).

Below I have posted few pictures day wise. And one thing I want to mention, at Gangtok we visited Backer's Cafe which is a famous cafe in Gangtok. Breakfast with the view of mountains made our last day at Gangtok memorable.
