Day 2 is the day to get transferred to Lachen from Gangtok. En route stop over at Singhik Viewpoint and Naga Waterfall to enjoy nature at its best.

After an early breakfast, begin your scenic drive from Gangtok to Lachen, a beautiful mountain village nestled in the northern part of Sikkim. The journey will definitely prove to be a feast for the senses, with breathtaking mountain terrain covered with alpine forests, snow-capped peaks, and glistening streams winding through deep valleys.

Your first stop will be at Singhik Viewpoint, a serene spot that provides a mesmerizing view of the Teesta River valley and the stupendous peaks of Mount Kanchenjunga along with other Himalayan ranges. The cool mountain breeze and the peaceful setting make it a perfect place for photography and quiet contemplation.

Next stop will be at Naga Waterfall, one of the largest and most scenic waterfalls in North Sikkim. Cascading down rugged cliffs amidst dense greenery, it is an ideal location for nature photography of the beauty of Himalayan landscapes.

On arrival, check into your hotel or guesthouse and spend the evening relaxing after the long yet scenic journey.

Wake up early in the morning around 4:00–5:00 AM and get ready for an unforgettable excursion to the stunning Gurudongmar Lake, one of the highest and most sacred lakes in the world. Located at an altitude of approximately 17,800 feet, the journey to this magnificent spot is both thrilling and scenic, surrounded by the grandeur of the eastern Himalayas.

As you ascend higher, make brief stops at Thangu (around 13,000 ft) and Chopta Valley, both known for their mesmerizing natural beauty.

• Thangu Village is a peaceful high-altitude settlement often blanketed in snow during winter, where you can enjoy a warm cup of tea while admiring the alpine landscape dotted with wooden houses.
• Chopta Valley, also known as the Valley of Flowers of North Sikkim, offers breathtaking views of meadows, streams, and snow-covered peaks — a paradise for photographers and nature lovers.

Continue your drive to Gurudongmar Lake, which lies close to the Tibet border. The lake’s crystal-clear turquoise waters, surrounded by towering snow-clad mountains, create a surreal, almost otherworldly atmosphere. The lake holds deep religious significance for Buddhists and Sikhs, and it is said that a portion of its water never freezes even in the harshest winter. Spend some peaceful moments here soaking in the serenity and spirituality of this sacred site.

After exploring and capturing the beauty of the region, begin your descent back to Lachen for lunch. The return journey offers equally mesmerizing views as the morning sunlight illuminates the mountain valleys.
