Overview
This sikkim tour package from chennai is built around the temperature contrast between Chennai’s summer and the cool air of the Eastern Himalayas, a pattern that brings a growing number of South Indian travellers north every year between April and June. Gangtok opens the circuit, Lachung and Yumthang Valley add the North Sikkim stretch most summer travellers come for, and Pelling closes the trip with its Kanchenjunga facing position. Seven days from Chennai covers all three regions properly rather than compressing North Sikkim into a rushed overnight detour. This package suits a traveller who wants genuine relief from the plains heat rather than just another hill station.
Bon Voyagers manages the complete ground programme for this sikkim tour package from chennai from arrival at Bagdogra. The private NON-AC vehicle covers the road across Gangtok, Lachung and Pelling on a point to point basis as per the itinerary. The Protected Area Permit required for the North Sikkim stretch covering Lachung and Yumthang is processed by the Bon team ahead of arrival. Six nights of accommodation on double sharing basis, two nights each in Gangtok, Lachung and Pelling, with daily breakfast and dinner on MAP basis, are included throughout. The per person cost of this sikkim tour package from chennai is ₹23,500.
Day-wise Itinerary

The flight from Chennai to Bagdogra opens this sikkim tour package from chennai, where the Bon Voyagers representative meets the group on arrival. The road climbs steadily toward Gangtok for most of the remaining day, with the heat of the plains giving way to noticeably cooler air well before the capital itself comes into view. Hotel check-in happens by evening, leaving time for a short walk around MG Marg before dinner. The change in temperature alone makes the long travel day worthwhile by the time the group settles in for the night. Overnight in Gangtok.
Tsomgo Lake draws the heaviest single day tourist footfall in Sikkim during peak season, reached after the Protected Area Permit paperwork is checked en route from Gangtok. Rumtek Monastery follows in the afternoon, one of the larger monastery complexes in Sikkim, before the group returns to Gangtok for the evening. This is the one day on this sikkim tour package from chennai spent entirely around East Sikkim’s permit covered sightseeing before the trip turns north toward Lachung. Dinner is served back at the hotel. Overnight in Gangtok.
North Sikkim opens up properly on Day 3, with the drive from Gangtok to Lachung passing through Chungthang and climbing steadily into noticeably cooler air than even Gangtok offered. The Protected Area Permit covering this stretch is checked along the way before the road continues toward the village itself. Hotel check-in at Lachung happens by evening, with the surrounding peaks already visible from the property on a clear afternoon. This sikkim tour package from chennai reaches its coolest point of the entire circuit by the time dinner is served. Overnight in Lachung.
Yumthang Valley, known locally as the Valley of Flowers, sits inside the Shingba Rhododendron Sanctuary, home to more than twenty species of rhododendron across the valley floor. The full day excursion on this sikkim tour package from chennai covers Yumthang and continues, road conditions permitting, toward Zero Point at a considerably higher altitude, where snow is common even outside winter. The drive back to Lachung by evening closes out the most scenic single day of the entire trip. Dinner at the hotel follows. Overnight in Lachung.
The return drive south from Lachung retraces the road through Chungthang and Gangtok before continuing on toward Pelling, covering most of the day given the distance involved. Hotel check-in at Pelling happens by evening, with rooms in several properties here facing directly toward Kanchenjunga. The shift from North Sikkim’s cold mornings to Pelling’s milder West Sikkim climate is noticeable within the first evening of this sikkim tour package from chennai. Dinner is served at the hotel. Overnight in Pelling.
Pemayangtse Monastery and the Pelling Skywalk fill the morning, both within a short drive of the hotel, followed by an afternoon left free for the group to walk around town at its own pace. Clear mornings open up a direct view of Kanchenjunga from several points around Pelling, the reason most travellers add this stop to a Gangtok and North Sikkim focused trip. This sikkim tour package from chennai winds down deliberately on Day 6 after the road heavy stretch through Lachung. Dinner at the hotel closes out the last full day. Overnight in Pelling.
The return journey from Pelling to Bagdogra closes out this sikkim tour package from chennai, timed against the confirmed return flight to Chennai. The Bon team plans this Day 7 schedule around the actual flight timing rather than a fixed checkout hour, since the drive itself takes most of the morning and early afternoon. The Bon Voyagers vehicle drops the group directly at Bagdogra Airport, ending the trip back where the cooler air of the hills gives way to the heat of the plains again.

Best Time to Visit
Sikkim’s weather was defined by a significant monsoon deficit followed by a turbulent transition into an early, harsh winter. During the core monsoon months of June and July, the state recorded a 23% rainfall shortage, which severely impacted local agriculture and water reserves. As the year closed, an aggressive cold wave took hold, bringing heavy snow to North Sikkim by December and early January 2026.
