Our Gangtok trip was absolutely amazing! The views of Kanchenjunga were spectacular. Tsomgo Lake was breathtaking - the crystal clear blue water surrounded by snow-capped peaks. The monasteries were so peaceful and spiritual. Our driver cum guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. The ropeway ride offered stunning city views. MG Marg is beautiful in the evening. Hotels were comfortable with great mountain views. Destiny Yatra planned everything perfectly. Highly recommend for nature lovers and peace seekers!
Wonderful experience with Destiny Yatra! The entire family including kids and parents enjoyed thoroughly. The drive to Tsomgo Lake was scenic but please carry warm clothes - it's very cold up there even in December! Pelling was a hidden gem with amazing Kanchenjunga views. The Skywalk was thrilling! Buddha Park at Ravangla was magnificent. Food at hotels was delicious, especially the momos and thukpa. Very well organized tour with proper timing. Great value for money!
Gangtok is truly a gem in the Himalayas! The natural beauty is unmatched. We were lucky to get clear weather and saw spectacular sunrise views of Kanchenjunga from Tashi Viewpoint. The monasteries like Rumtek and Pemayangtse are architecturally stunning. Khecheopalri Lake was so peaceful. The locals are warm and hospitable. Only suggestion - book Nathula Pass in advance as it has limited permits. Overall fantastic trip organized by Destiny Yatra team. Thank you!
