Frequently Asked Questions
Sikkim Tour Packages From Delhi — Everything You Need to Know
Sikkim is one of India's most unspoilt Himalayan states, and a Sikkim tour package from Delhi takes you through its best sides — Gangtok's monasteries and markets, the glacial Tsomgo Lake, the high-altitude Nathula Pass, and the remote alpine valleys of Lachung and Pelling.
Why Choose a Sikkim Tour Package from Delhi?
Sikkim is reached via Bagdogra airport, well connected to Delhi by direct flights, followed by a scenic mountain drive to Gangtok. Because several of Sikkim's best sights sit inside protected border areas, a package with pre-arranged inner-line permits saves significant time and paperwork.
- Flight booking assistance from Delhi to Bagdogra
- Hotel accommodation across Gangtok, Lachung and Pelling
- Inner-line permits for Tsomgo Lake, Nathula Pass and North Sikkim
- Private sightseeing with an experienced local driver
- Flexible itineraries that can be customised on request
- Affordable, transparently priced packages
