6 Days Gangtok, Pelling & Namchi Tour
5 Nights / 6 Days
Bagdogra / NJP · Gangtok · Tsomgo Lake · Namchi · Pelling
Tour Overview
This 6 Days Gangtok, Pelling and Namchi Tour combines East and West Sikkim in one balanced itinerary. The journey starts in Gangtok, includes a high-altitude excursion to Tsomgo Lake and Baba Mandir, then continues through Namchi to Pelling for monastery, heritage, lake, waterfall and mountain-view sightseeing.
The itinerary is suitable for travellers searching for a Gangtok Pelling tour package, 6 days Sikkim itinerary or a Gangtok Namchi Pelling tour. It provides a broader Sikkim experience than a Gangtok-only trip while keeping the number of hotel changes manageable.
Tsomgo Lake and Baba Mandir are located in a protected high-altitude area. Access depends on permit approval, nationality rules, weather, road conditions and local administrative instructions.
Nathula Pass is not included as a guaranteed part of this tour. It may only be considered separately for eligible travellers when the required permit is approved.
Namchi and Pelling include active religious sites and monasteries. Visitors should enter only publicly accessible areas and follow local rules regarding photography, dress and conduct.
Pelling Skywalk and other outdoor attractions may be affected by weather, maintenance or local operating conditions, so the final sequence can be adjusted on the day.
Tour Highlights:
- Stay in Gangtok and explore key city attractions.
- Visit Tsomgo Lake and Baba Mandir subject to permit and road conditions.
- Travel through Namchi while continuing to Pelling.
- Explore Pelling’s monasteries, heritage sites and viewpoints.
