From undefined/dayA Compact Cycling tour in North Sikkim
Destination Covered || Mangan| Lachung * Yumthang * Lachen * Thangu * Dzongu
Introduction || Want to bike to the extreme highland zones of Sikkim but have a tight schedule? This compact tour is perhaps ideal for you. You will cover the entire North Sikkim destinations in just a week. Reaching the Sikkim Himalayas' highest areas is exciting but a challenging option even for experienced bikers. The tour takes you to some of the magical landscapes of the remote alpine plateau of North Sikkim close to the Tibet border, to the highest village of the nomadic yak herders and to the rhododendron flower valley of Yumthang. The route covers almost the entire North Sikkim while you stay in Mangan, Lachung, Lachen and Dzongu. Based on Lachung, you will explore the higher valleys in Yumthang, and from Lachen, you have an excursion to Gurudongmar Lake at 5500 meters (Only for Indian Nationals). Back from Lachen, you stay at a lovely Lepcha homestay in Dzongu Reserve, forbidden for the outsiders not a very long time ago.
• Best Season || October to December & April to May
