Sikkim Tour Packages for Family – A 8-Day Himalayan Escape Worth Remembering

• Meet your driver at Bagdogra Airport or NJP Station
• Drive through green valleys toward Gangtok (approx. 4 hours)
• Settle into your hotel and take a short walk in the evening
• Explore MG Road with the kids, pick up woollens or souvenirs

This first day is about arriving slowly. The hills don’t rush you, and neither does the plan. Families often use this day to shake off the travel and let the views sink in.

• Visit Tsomgo Lake—a glacial mirror reflecting snow and silence
• Stop at Baba Mandir and hear a story your kids will talk about later
• Optional: Nathula Pass (for families okay with high altitudes)
• Return to Gangtok for a relaxed evening

For families booking north Sikkim tour packages, this is often the first real brush with altitude and snow. Don’t forget gloves, and always carry snacks.

• After breakfast, hit the road for Lachen (about 6 hours)
• Stop at Tashi Viewpoint, Kabi Longstok, and Naga Waterfall
• Lunch at Chungthang
• Evening free at your lodge in Lachen

This part of the journey is quieter. The road curves through villages, rivers appear and disappear, and everyone starts speaking softer for some reason.

• Early morning drive to Gurudongmar Lake—frozen, silent, unforgettable
• Return to Lachen for breakfast
• Short drive to Lachung by afternoon
• Visit the monastery or walk around the village with the family

Gurudongmar is one of those places where everyone gets quiet, even the loud ones. It’s also where the best family photo of the trip probably happens.

• Short drive to Yumthang Valley—also known as the Valley of Flowers
• Visit the hot springs nearby
• Drive back to Gangtok after lunch
• Evening free for dinner and a stroll on MG Road

Whether you’re six years old or sixty, Yumthang leaves an impression. It’s big, bright, and smells of pine and wildflowers.

• After breakfast, head toward Pelling (approx. 5 hours)
• Check into a resort with great views
• Relax, catch up with each other, enjoy the slow pace

This is where families usually breathe a little deeper. The air is thinner, the pace is slower, and the surroundings do most of the talking.

• Visit Kanchenjunga Waterfalls and Rimbi Waterfall
• Walk around Khachoedpalri Lake (make a wish, just in case)
• Explore Rabdentse Ruins and Pemayangtse Monastery

This day feels like a treasure hunt. Waterfalls roar, old stones hold stories, and monasteries welcome you in without asking too much.

• Breakfast with a view
• Return drive to Bagdogra Airport or NJP Station
• End of trip, but maybe the start of a new family tradition

The last day is quieter. Everyone’s thinking about when you’ll do something like this again.
