North Sikkim and Tsongmo Lake - next few days

I'm a looking for someone to travel to Tsongmo Lake in Sikkim and the northern areas of Singhik, Chungthan, and Longchang and Phodong Monastery. These areas require a permit which can be issued by travel agencies, but there must be at least two travelers. I am a solo female traveler. I am hoping to go in the next few days.

I had been to Tsomgo lake(called as Changu lake also) in Feb-07. It was a beautiful to see the entire lake frozen(check out the pics in my Flickr/Picasa).

YOu will get cabs(on a shared basis) to go to Tsomgo Lake, Baba Mandir and Nathu la pass. Its a one day tour and the cab operators charge around 200-300INR.You might have to chip in a word with the operator a day or two in advance so that he takes the required permissions.I presume,you dont have to bother much about the permissions.

I have not been more further; but you might like to check-out some beautiful monasteries in Gangtok like the Rumtek, Ranka, Deorali etc etc..

Also, if possible, try going to West-sikkim .. i could not go there but have heard that it has some amazing monasteries, temples and trails.

Enjoy
