On Day 2, after breakfast, start your journey towards the Old Silk Route. Visit Tsomgo Lake located at a height of 12,400 ft. This glacial lake is considered sacred and surrounded by snow-clad mountains. Thereafter, proceed towards Baba Harbhajan Singh Mandir, famous for its connection to the Indian Army legend of the same name who is deemed a protector of the valley. Located amidst the misty mountains between Nathula Pass and Tsomgo Lake, Baba Harbhajan Singh Mandir is a living testimony to the blend of legends, patriotism, faith, nature, patriotism and more. Next stop will be Zuluk, a quiet and charming mountain village known for its meandering roads and misty views of the Eastern Himalayas. Zuluk combines the unique aura of mystic calm and Himalayan grandeur. The first glimpse of this mountain village feels like stepping into a forgotten world — where winding clouds embrace ancient ridges, and the silence of the highlands hums with stories of the old Silk Route. On the way, you shall enjoy the beautiful landscapes of Lingtam and Padamchen. Check-in at homestay in Zuluk and overnight stay at Zuluk.

This day early morning, you shall proceed towards Thambi Viewpoint (11,200 ft) to witness the spectacular sunrise over Kanchenjunga. Explore the famous Zuluk zig-zag road with an amazing 32 hairpin bends, considered a major highlight for tourists of the Silk Route. As you absorb the simplicity of life in Zuluk and watch in wonder the mountain tribes tending to the yaks, the shifting mists unfold a peep at the massive Mount Kanchenjunga, you realise your destination is your journey and as the sunrise paints the mountains golden you hum the glory of the Silk Route enigma. Visit Lungthung, Gnathang Valley (13,500 ft), Kupup Lake (Elephant Lake), and Old Baba Mandir. You shall return to Zuluk by evening. Enjoy a warm homely cosy dinner and local hospitality at the homestay. Overnight stay at Zuluk.

This is the last day of the Silk Route trip. After breakfast, start the descent towards Aritar. Visit Aritar Lake (Lampokhari) and Aritar Monastery that exudes an ancient Buddhist calmness and peace. The town’s central point of attraction is the shimmering Lampokhari Lake, which is one of the oldest in East Sikkim. The village itself feels timeless — simple, serene, and unhurried — with orchids blooming along paths and prayer flags fluttering gently in the breeze. Continue your journey towards NJP / Bagdogra for your onward journey. Tour ends with fond memories of the Sikkim Silk Route.
