Overview
This sikkim tour package from bangalore covers Zuluk, the zigzag stretch of the Old Silk Route that has become one of the most recognisable offbeat circuits in Sikkim’s current tourism boom. Thirty two hairpin bends climb the same hillside in quick succession, a sight that draws genuine adventure interest rather than the usual Gangtok and Pelling crowd. Gangtok and Pelling still follow later in the trip, giving the full circuit a proper mix of the iconic Silk Route stretch and the more familiar Sikkim sights. Six days from Bangalore gives enough room to cover all three without compressing any single stop into a rushed half day.
Bon Voyagers manages the complete ground programme for this sikkim tour package from bangalore from arrival at Bagdogra. The private NON-AC vehicle covers the road across Zuluk, Gangtok and Pelling on a point to point basis as per the itinerary. The Old Silk Route permit required for the Zuluk stretch is processed by the Bon team ahead of arrival. Five nights of accommodation on double sharing basis, two nights each in Zuluk and Gangtok and one night in Pelling, with daily breakfast and dinner on MAP basis, are included throughout. The per person cost of this sikkim tour package from bangalore is ₹19,800.

This sikkim tour package from bangalore begins with the flight from Bangalore to Bagdogra, where the Bon Voyagers representative meets the group on arrival. The road climbs through Rongli, where the Old Silk Route permit paperwork is checked, before continuing up the early stretch of the zigzag bends that lead toward Zuluk. Homestay check-in happens by evening, with dinner cooked fresh by the host family. The contrast between Bagdogra’s plains and the altitude gained by evening on this sikkim tour package from bangalore is already noticeable on Day 1 itself. Overnight in Zuluk.
Thambi Viewpoint, the highest point on this stretch of the Old Silk Route, opens up the full run of thirty two hairpin bends below, best seen at first light before any cloud builds up later in the morning. An early start makes the most of this on this sikkim tour package from bangalore, since the same view loses much of its clarity by mid morning most days. The rest of the day stays around Zuluk itself, walking the lower bends and the village edges rather than covering more road distance. Dinner at the homestay closes out the second night here. Overnight in Zuluk.
The drive down from Zuluk toward Gangtok retraces part of the same Old Silk Route before joining the main road into the capital, reaching Gangtok by afternoon. Hotel check-in happens once the group arrives, with the evening left free to walk MG Marg before dinner. The shift from Zuluk’s homestay pace to Gangtok’s busier streets on this sikkim tour package from bangalore is the most noticeable change in character across the entire six days. 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, a quieter contrast to the lake’s crowds, along with a stop at Tashi View Point for a wider look at the surrounding ranges. This is the one day on this sikkim tour package from bangalore built around a separate permit zone rather than the Old Silk Route covered earlier in the trip. The group returns to Gangtok for dinner. Overnight in Gangtok.
Pelling comes into view by late afternoon after the drive west from Gangtok, a noticeably quieter West Sikkim town built around its Kanchenjunga facing position. Hotel check-in happens once the group arrives, with the evening left free to settle in before the final sightseeing day. The pace of this sikkim tour package from bangalore slows considerably from this point onward, a deliberate contrast to the road heavy first half of the trip. Dinner is served at the hotel. Overnight in Pelling.
Pemayangtse Monastery and the Pelling Skywalk fill the morning before checkout, both within a short drive of the hotel. The return journey then retraces the road back toward Bagdogra, with the Bon team planning this Day 6 timing against the confirmed return flight to Bangalore. The Bon Voyagers vehicle drops the group directly at Bagdogra Airport, closing out this sikkim tour package from bangalore at the same gateway it began six days earlier.

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.
