SikkimTourism.org assisted me in planning a Sikkim trip for me and my family and I finally booked a 5 day Sikkim tour package. I spoke with other tour guides and looked through numerous websites. But none could compare to SikkimTourism.org’s degree of professionalism when it comes to arranging Sikkim tours.

I wanted a group tour covering East Sikkim and North Sikkim attractions along with Darjeeling. SikkimTourism.org’s 7 nights 8 days Sikkim tour package had everything I needed. Thanks to their team and guides, we could go on an incredible journey to Gangtok, Tsomgo Lake, Baba Mandir, Nathu La, Yumthang Valley, Lachung, and Darjeeling.

We need drivers who had a thorough understanding of the roads because Sikkim is situated in a hilly area and has twisty roads. By booking a 6 day Sikkim tour package with SikkimTourism.org, we received amazing services, which helped us feel secure.
