Overview
The nathang valley sikkim tour package covers a high altitude plateau on the Old Silk Route that very few Sikkim itineraries treat as a destination of its own rather than a quick stop on the way to Nathula. Nathang, also called Gnathang, sits at close to thirteen thousand five hundred feet under Indian Army control, and a Restricted Area Permit is needed before the road even climbs toward it. The valley has no hotels, only a handful of homestays run by local families. This nathang valley sikkim tour package is built for the traveller who wants the Silk Route’s highest stretch as the actual trip, not a photo stop.
Bon Voyagers manages the complete ground programme for this nathang valley sikkim tour package from arrival at NJP or IXB. The private NON-AC vehicle covers the road through Rongli, Zuluk and onward to Nathang on a point to point basis as per the itinerary. The Restricted Area Permit required for this stretch of the Old Silk Route is processed by the Bon team before the trip begins. Three nights of homestay accommodation on double sharing basis, with daily breakfast and dinner on MAP basis, are included throughout. The per person cost of this nathang valley sikkim tour package is ₹12,400.

This nathang valley sikkim tour package begins at NJP or IXB, where the Bon Voyagers representative meets the group. The road runs through Rongli, where the Restricted Area Permit paperwork for the Old Silk Route is checked, and continues up toward Zuluk along the early stretch of zigzag bends the route is known for. Zuluk sits lower than Nathang and works as the acclimatization stop before the climb continues the next morning. Homestay check-in happens by evening, with dinner cooked fresh by the host family. The night here is the first of three before the route reaches Nathang itself.
Day 2 of this nathang valley sikkim tour package is the climb itself, past the famous zigzag loops that the Old Silk Route is known for, with views opening wider at every bend. Thambi viewpoint along the way gives an early look at the Eastern Himalayan range before the road continues past Padamchen toward Nathang. The altitude rises sharply through the day, and the homestays at Nathang run on Bukhari wood stoves rather than modern heating because the cold here is real even outside winter. Checking in by afternoon leaves time to rest and adjust before tomorrow's full day. Overnight in Nathang.
The one full day of this nathang valley sikkim tour package with no further climbing is spent around Nathang itself. Eagle’s Nest Bunker, an abandoned army post from the Indo-China war still marked with old bullet scars, sits close enough for a short drive, and the Lungthung viewpoint nearby is where the sunrise over the valley is best seen. Kupup Lake, shaped enough like an elephant to earn the local name, and the Old Baba Mandir dedicated to a soldier still honoured by the Army are both covered through the day. Dinner is home cooked again at the same homestay. Overnight in Nathang.
The final day of this nathang valley sikkim tour package is the descent back through Zuluk and Rongli toward NJP or IXB. Checkout happens early given the distance and the mountain roads involved, and the Bon team plans this Day 4 timing against the confirmed onward flight or train. The drive retraces the same route the group climbed on Day 2, with the zigzag bends looking different heading downward than they did on the way up. The Bon Voyagers vehicle drops the group directly at NJP or IXB, closing out this nathang valley sikkim tour package at the same point it began.

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.
