Sikkim from Bangladesh: Gangtok, high lakes and permits
Gangtok, Tsomgo Lake and North Sikkim from Bangladesh: why permits shape the plan, how to cope with the altitude and what warm clothes to pack.
Sikkim & Darjeeling
- India
- 7 days · 6 nights
A seven-day journey linking Gangtok’s monasteries with Darjeeling’s tea hills and railway heritage. Combine Gangtok and Darjeeling with one clear hotel change rather than moving base every day. The first part focuses on Sikkim’s town and mountain experiences, while the second leaves time for tea hills, Ghum and an extra railway ride. Extra North Sikkim stops are not hidden inside the seven-day count.

Begin your India–Sikkim journey along the authorised entry route. Travel to Gangtok with time for hill-road delays and check-in. Keep the first evening on MG Marg or near your accommodation.
Day 2
Tsomgo Lake
Visit Tsomgo Lake, where mountain slopes frame the highland water.
Day 3
Gangtok
Visit Rumtek or Enchey for monastery courtyards and a quieter side of Gangtok. Add the Gangtok ropeway as a separately ticketed city experience. Keep the evening relaxed before changing towns.
Day 4
To Darjeeling
Check out and travel from Gangtok toward Darjeeling. The road winds through the hills before you settle into Darjeeling. After check-in, choose an easy Chowrasta walk.
Day 5
Tiger Hill
Begin early at Tiger Hill for the mountain setting at dawn. Visit Batasia Loop, then walk through the green rows of a tea estate. Keep the afternoon free for rest rather than another distant viewpoint.
Day 6
Toy train and town
Add a Darjeeling Himalayan Railway joy ride to your day in town. Visit the Mountaineering Institute and zoo before returning to Darjeeling’s streets. Browse tea and local crafts at your own pace.

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.

- 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.
