Why visit
Tsomgo Lake and the road toward Nathu La need a restricted-area permit that keeps the crowds down, and Gangtok is small enough to cover on foot each evening after the day trips, which makes the logistics easier than the paperwork suggests.
- Tsomgo Lake and the road toward Nathu La
- Rumtek Monastery outside Gangtok
- Pemayangtse Monastery and the Kanchenjunga viewpoint at Pelling
- Khecheopalri Lake near Yuksom
- Yuksom, the first capital of Sikkim
