The capital of Sikkim, Gangtok offers marvellous views of Mount Kanchenjunga and comprises several holy sites like Ganesh Tok, Namgyal Institute of Tibetology and Ranka Monastery.
Welcome to the Cleanest State in India – Sikkim, and transfer to the capital city. As the aircraft lands at the nearest airport, our representative waits outside to meet & greet on arrival at Bagdogra and drives towards Gangtok (Alt.5550Ft/1675M). The drive is about 4 hours following the most scenic way through the beautiful lanes of Sikkim along with the picturesque Teesta River.
On arrival, check into the beautiful view rooms of the hotel well equipped with modern amenities and sink into the soft bed to get rid of the exhaustion. In the evening, take a stroll in the neighbourhood or enjoy some hot coffee sitting at the balcony while admiring the beauty of the place.
Overnight at Gangtok.
As the morning sores in, the warm rays of the sun knock through the window to give a start-up call for the second day. Enjoy breakfast at the hotel in its peaceful surroundings, and load the bags with dry foods before leaving for a full day trip to Tsomgo Lake with Baba Mandir / Nathula Pass Excursion.
Tsomgo Lake (12400ft) – Also known as Changu Lake is an oval shaped glacial lake which is only 40 km from Gangtok City, and almost about 1Km in length with 15 meters depth. The name Tsomgo is made of two words in Bhutia Language ‘Tso’ means ‘lake’ and ‘Mgo’ means ‘head’ in a short ‘source of the lake’. This high-altitude lake is surrounded by snow-capped steep mountains and remains frozen during wintertime. As summer beings to step-in, the glacier melts and the lake gets its origin. The locals consider the lake to be sacred, and it reflects different colors with the change in seasons.
New Baba Harbhajan Singh Mandir – The Baba Mandir was built in the Memorial of Baba Harbhajan Singh or the ‘Hero of Nathula’, a soldier in the Indian Army. It is situated at a distance of 12Km from Tsomgolake, and 52Km from Gangtok city. Baba Harbhajan served as a part of the border patrol force, and in the year 1968 while escorting a mule column he fell on a fast-flowing stream and got carried away by the powerful water current. Soldiers found his remains after 3 days and cremated with full military honour along with a shrine on his Samadhi built as per Baba’s wish, which he expressed through his friend post-death. The original bunker of Baba Harbhajan Singh is located further up near the Gnathang valley which is the Old Baba Mandir but because of its difficult terrain tourist can’t reach there so they build a New Mandir for easy access. This shrine is believed to have wish-fulfilling powers along with that Baba is still guarding the international border between India and China. On Sundays, a ‘Langar’ runs at the temple, which provides free meals to the visitors.
Nathula Pass – A major mountain pass in the Himalayas in East Sikkim district, which is a corridor of passage between India and Tibet before it was closed in 1962 but reopened in 2006. Located around 56 km from Gangtok at an altitude of 14450 ft, the road to Nathula is the highest motorable road, passes through the Tsomgo lake, and requires an entry permit to visit. The view from this international border is breath-taking and allows the tourist to get a glimpse of China on the other side along with their Chinese militants. On a clear day, the road winding down the Chumbi valley can be seen.

This high altitude beautiful and awe-inspiring lake remains milky in color throughout the year. This beautiful lake used to remain frozen most of the year, hence it was not possible to use its water for drinking purposes. When the Guru Padmasambhava passed by, while returning from Tibet, the residents are reported to have approached him for providing a source of water. The Guru obliged, and a portion of the lake touched by him does not freeze in extreme winter. Since the water of the lake is considered sacred, visitors carry the ‘blessed’ water in bottles.
