The route features winding mountain roads lined with dramatic waterfalls. Arrive in Lachen, a remote alpine village nestled amidst towering snowcovered peaks, and check into your mountain lodge.

Embark on a thrilling dawn drive up to the breathtaking Gurudongmar Lake, situated at an astounding altitude of 17,800 feet. Marvel at its crystal-clear blue waters before returning to Lachen for lunch. Afterward, check out and drive to the sister village of Lachung with The Travel Stations for your overnight stay.

Discover the spectacular Yumthang Valley, popularly known as the "Valley of Flowers" of Sikkim, curated by The Travel Stations. Walk across alpine meadows lined with pine forests and hot springs before checking out and driving back down to Gangtok for a comfortable night stay.

Arrive in Pelling and check into your mountain resort facing Mount Kanchenjunga.

Explore the thrilling Pelling Glass Skywalk and the nearby Chenrezig statue with The Travel Stations. In the afternoon, take a peaceful nature walk through the pine forests to explore the historic ruins of Rabdentse Palace, the ancient second capital of the Sikkim kingdom, before a relaxed evening.

Travel from Pelling across the state border to Darjeeling, the Queen of the Hills. The Travel Stations will check you into a premium mountain resort. Spend your evening walking along the historic Mall Road, picking up authentic local tea and handicrafts at the local bazaars.

Witness the legendary Tiger Hill sunrise over Mount Kanchenjunga at dawn, arranged by The Travel Stations. Visit Batasia Loop and Ghoom Monastery before returning to your hotel for breakfast. Spend your afternoon exploring the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute and the local zoological park.

After breakfast, The Travel Stations will organize an exciting day trip to the peaceful town of Mirik, famous for its beautiful Sumendu Lake. Take a horse ride or a peaceful boat ride across the lake, bordered by pine forests and manicured tea estates, before returning to Darjeeling for your final evening
