If you are looking for a combination of nature, mountains, and peace, then North Sikkim can be a dream destination for you. This region is one of the gems of Sikkim tourism, which fascinates tourists every time with its natural beauty and mysterious atmosphere. For those planning a Sikkim tour, these 7 tourist places in North Sikkim should be on the must-see list.
With Yaron Ki Sawari’s special tour packages, you can easily travel to these amazing Sikkim tourist spots.
1. Yumthang Valley
Located in North Sikkim, Yumthang Valley is called the ‘Valley of Flowers’. A thousand colorful flowers bloom here in spring. Snow-capped mountains, waterfalls, and rivers make this place one of the most attractive Sikkim tourist destinations. This should be at the top of the Sikkim sightseeing list.
According to the Sikkim Tourism Department, Yumthang Valley is a place where nature itself has played the game of painting like an artist.
2. Zero Point
Located about 23 km from Yumthang, Zero Point is the place where the road ends and the pure form of nature begins. Located at an altitude of about 15,300 feet above sea level, this place is covered in snow most of the year. It is very popular as a North Sikkim tourist spot.
For those who want to see the snowy kingdom of the north, visiting Zero Point should be on the list of things to do in Sikkim.
3. Lachung
Lachung is a small but beautiful hill village that lies on the way to Yumthang Valley. The hospitality of the local people and the rural environment here will give you a different experience. To stay in this village, you need to book in advance, especially during the best time to visit Sikkim—April to June or October to December.
Lachung is also one of the important places among the Sikkim tourist attractions.
4. Gurudongmar Lake
Situated at an altitude of about 17,800 feet, this lake is one of the holiest places in North Sikkim. It freezes during winters, and the snow-capped mountains around it create a mesmerizing atmosphere. This is undoubtedly an amazing Sikkim tourist spot that you should include in your trip.
This lake is close to the Tibetan border and can be visited with special permission. So if you take the Yaron Ki Sawari package, you don’t have to worry about permission.
5. Chungthang
Chungthang is a place where the paths of Lachung and Lachen villages diverge. This is the confluence of the Teesta and Lachen rivers. This place is considered sacred locally. It is one of the underrated but beautiful spots among the Sikkim tourist destinations.
6. Lachen
From Lachen, you have to go to Gurudongmar Lake. It is a quiet village that is mainly inhabited by the Lepcha people. There is a uniqueness in the culture and environment here. Watching the sunrise from Lachen is an incredible experience, so it should be added to the Sikkim sightseeing list.
7. Thangu Valley
Located at a distance of 2 hours from Lachen, Thangu Valley is a great natural destination that is still unknown to most tourists. It can be a surprising discovery for newcomers to Sikkim tourist attractions.
This valley blooms in spring, and in winter it is covered in a blanket of pure white snow — in a word, it is beautiful as a picture.
If you want to go deeper after seeing Gangtok, then North Sikkim should be your next destination. Yumthang, Zero Point, Lachung, or Gurudongmar Lake—all are such interesting places in Sikkim that will touch your heart at first sight.
