Travel requires a valid passport and the entry and transit permissions for the complete route. Bangladesh passport holders need the applicable Sikkim clearance in addition to an Indian visa, with separate protected-area authorisation for Tsomgo. The itinerary operates within the areas authorised for the group; Nathula, Baba Mandir and North Sikkim are outside this route. High-altitude roads, slopes and steps require suitable fitness, and snow or clear views are seasonal rather than fixed features.
Not included
- Bangladesh access journeys, additional transit nights, visa fees and travel insurance.
- Meals outside the included plan, drinks and personal purchases.
- Paid attraction tickets, rides and optional experiences beyond the listed package services.
