Trails & landmarks

The classic Kanchenjunga close-up — a multi-day push through Yuksom, Tshoka, Dzongri and Thansing to the pass viewpoint.

A short Kanchenjunga sunrise option from Yuksom — Pandim, Kabru and Rathong arc into a single panorama at first light.

Glacial cirque lake on the Nathu La road — frozen mid-winter, ringed by primulas in spring; permits required.

One of the world's highest lakes — a glassy turquoise plate below the Tibet border in north Sikkim's Lachen valley.

The 'Valley of Flowers' of Sikkim — easy meadow walks among rhododendron banks framed by the Donkia massif.

A restricted-permit expedition up the Zemu glacier to the eastern face of Kanchenjunga — long and remote.
