Get ready for a magical family getaway into the heart of Sikkim’s wildlife, lush forests, and serene landscapes.

Ideal for families seeking nature, wildlife, and light adventure without sacrificing comfort.
After arriving at Bagdogra Airport (or NJP station), you’ll be transferred through scenic routes up to Gangtok (~4-5 hours). Settle into your hotel, enjoy a relaxed evening.
