West Sikkim Tour

binayrungta · Aug 7th, 2009, 19:51

Hi All,
I just joined the IndiaMike forum.
Last year I with my wife visited North Sikkim and Gangtok I would like to share some of the photographs of our Journey.

But I could not visit West Sikkim. This time during October I wants to visit West Sikkim alone.

Can any body help me to workout the expenses (As low as possible) and tour detail.

Thanks in advance

Welcome to IndiaMike Binay!

Just checked the link - Great photographs! I haven't visited Sikkim yet, so can't advise but I'm sure someone with experience will come along soon with more info. You may also want to take a look at the links at the bottom of this page or searching the forums for older posts on West Sikkim.

For West Sikkim trip....I would recommend you a 2 days halt at Varsey.....a simple straight 4 km easy trek through the Alpine forests, inside the Varsey Rhododendron Sanctuary, stay at Gurash Kunj at Varsey. and then also can visit touristy places like Pelling and Ravangla in West Sikkim......search for Varsey and you will find more threads about it in Indiamike.

See this thread: Varsey under heavy snow

Just visit Varsey...some back and you will thank me for it.

Hi Snigdha,

Are you done with travel planning for sikkim? i m also from mumbai and travelling to sikkim in dec 2nd for honeymoon. Looking for some off beat and exotic destinations.

uptill now ive done fair enough R&D for various locations but unable to freeze my travel plan...would you mind sharing your itinaray - if it is ready?

Thanks in advance..!!

Snigdha,
Note that Orange village is not in Gangtok but 12 kms away at Ranipul. Newa regency is ok but you can get better hotel in the same price. Tashi ghang resort or Norbughang resort is better.

As per my knowledge Sikkim has different permitted cars for different routes. So it is always advisable to contact a travel agent who can provide you car at all the places. I know 1 service provider Safar Leisure Consultancy who may give you detail information with rates. email id- saflec@yahoo.com
