The Silk Route in Sikkim offers a 3N/4D offbeat adventure through high-altitude passes, hairpin bends, and remote valleys, tracing the historic trade route with stays in Zuluk, Nathang Valley, and Reshikhola for stunning Himalayan vistas and minimal crowds.
This compact package starts from Siliguri/NJP or Gangtok, winding through the Old Silk Route’s dramatic landscapes—think 32 hairpin turns at Zuluk, yak pastures near Nathang, and forested serenity at Reshikhola. Day 1 reaches Zuluk (9,400 ft) via scenic stops like Lampokhari Lake and Lingtum Monastery, overnighting amid Kanchenjunga views. Day 2 climbs to Nathang Valley (13,800 ft), passing Thambi Viewpoint, Zigzag Road, and Lungthung for sunrise panoramas, with evenings at homestays enjoying local Lepcha hospitality. Day 3 shifts to Reshikhola via Baba Mandir and Kupup Lake, focusing on nature walks and valley tranquility. Day 4 returns with optional Eagle’s Nest visits and drops back. Expect homestay comforts, all meals, and permits; best May–October when roads open.
