We had a 5N/6D trip to north Sikkim. Starting of the trip was as per plan. But the travel from Bagdogra to Gangtok was time consuming and there were heavy rush on the road. We reached Gangtok hotel by 8.30 pm, Our next day trip was for Nathula pass. Though our trip was planned from 8 AM, we could start by 8.45 as the driver was late. However that delay didn't reflect in our plans for the day. On the third day we started for Lachung at 8.30 am. That journey was good, though the road condition was bad in some areas. Our stay at Lachung was OK and the food provided at the hotel was good. On the fourth morning we visited Yumthang Valley. From there we went to zero point , We were lucky as the area was covered by fresh snow due to snow fall in the previous night. The area from Lachung to zero point is very beautiful . Here roads are narrow but offers breathtaking views as we climb up to 15000 feet. We had to start early from zero point as our stay for the day was changed from Lachung to Gangtok. After a long journey we reached Gangtok by around 5:30 pm. Next morning we were taken for Gangtok city tour. We didn't enjoy the city tour much as the spots covered were crowded, frequent road blocks with heavy traffic. We went to MG Marg in the evening by own arrangement, which is an excellent place for shopping and food. We had to start next day early morning as the flight from Bagdogra was at 1 pm. What I liked is , our group was good, hotels and breakfast-dinner were good and the drivers were good.
