Hidden Kingdoms & Skywalks – A 6-Day Circuit Through Western Sikkim

Land at Bagdogra and drive through forested curves into Gangtok. Your evening unfolds gently along MG Road—chai, prayer flags, and first glimpses of Himalayan charm.

Visit the Namgyal Institute to uncover Sikkim’s Tibetan roots. Walk the serene halls of Ranka Monastery and end the day with a ropeway ride above Gangtok’s rooftops, as Kanchenjunga glows in the distance.

Uncover stories at the offbeat Black Cat Museum before heading westward. The road to Rinchenpong opens up to pine forests, quiet bends, and a sense of space. Here, the noise fades.

Begin at the Pelling Skywalk, then walk to the mossy remains of Rabdentse—Sikkim’s forgotten capital. Visit Pemayangtse Monastery, soak in Reshi’s hot spring, and end the day tasting wild fruit wines at a hillside farm.

Drive to Kalimpong with a detour to Tarey Bhir—a dramatic ridge overlooking two river valleys. Watch Teesta and Rangeet merge, raft if you’re up for it, and explore Kalimpong’s lush Cactus Garden before settling in.

Drive back to Bagdogra, but leave with more than memories—stories from forgotten trails, skies you walked under, and valleys that surprised you.
