The landscape here changes from green to gold to stark white. North Sikkim is the closest you can get to Tibet without crossing the border. Stand at 17,800 ft at Gurudongmar Lake, where the air is thin and the water is milky blue. A high-altitude adventure for the brave.
Leave civilization behind. We drive North (6-7 hrs), passing the historic Kabi Lungchok and the roaring Seven Sisters Waterfall. The road gets rougher, the air thinner. Arrive in Lachen (8,800 ft), a remote settlement that feels like the end of the world.
Overnight: Lachen
Start at 4:00 AM. We climb to 17,800 ft to stand on the shores of Gurudongmar Lake, one of the highest lakes in the world, surrounded by snow-clad giants. The oxygen is thin, but the view is breathless. Post-visit, we descend and traverse to Lachung for the night.
Overnight: Lachung
Explore the Yumthang Valley, a riot of rhododendrons and alpine flowers (seasonal). Visit the natural Hot Springs to thaw out. Post lunch, we begin the return drive to Gangtok, carrying the silence of the North with us.
