Lachen Lahunch and Gangtok

We recently visited the hills, the Himalayan Mountains, there is nothing more majestic and serene than the snow laden tops, the beautiful valleys.
So if anyone out there is planning to visit, you can use our travel itinerary.
The first thing we thought of was the places we wanted to cover, there are so many of them that it is important to list down to a few keeping in mind the travel time they require, below are the places we visited in accordance to our arrival there
1) Gangtok
2) Lachen
3) Lachung
4) Gangtok
We had a total of 7 days and had booked a vehicle in advance, the ones best suited to give you are comfortable travel are xylo and innova.
Our journey started from Delhi to Bagdogra by flight, this itself can be an experience if you take seats to your left as you can get a glimpse of himalayan range around 15-20 mins before landing.
We had our booked vehicle at airport for pickup and went straight to Gangtok, took halt for a night, you can get lot of decent hotels for a night stay there... took a small stroll to the main street of gangatok and went straight back to bed.
The next day for us started at 8 AM, as we started on our journey towards Lachen, on your way you have many small waterfalls, few selfies here wouldn't cost much time, we reached Lachen by 5PM, Lachen was a beautiful city with small huts until people decided to destroy it by creating lodges n lodges, well this wasn't the final destination, hence we took our dinner and went back to bed as the next day starts very early.

Siri Gurudongmer lake-> you need to start at 4 from lachen or even before if you want to reach here before sunrise, we reached there by 10 way past sunrise, but its a view you can soak yourself in completely, a monastery nearby. we took a stroll around the frozen lake, the quietness, purity there can only be felt and not described. When going back remember to go via Chopta Valley, it is very beautiful.
We went back to our resort in Lachen and had rest of the day to just relax.

Next day early morning start for Lachung, it is almost 4 hours from Lachen to Lachung, we did not stop in Lachung and went straight for YUNGTHANG Valley, it was majestic, best place to have a sip of tea and enjoy the nature at its best, if you are in the right season you will be able to see flowers and this valley blooming to its best, and can visit 0 point for snow, for us 0 point was closed, but it is 1 hour ahead of yungthang valley, please plan accordingly.
we had a halt in Lachung for that day, next day morning we were on our way back to Gangtok, but we took a slightly longer route and went visiting char dham and wonderful tea estates.

Gangtok we had a stay for 2 days, to ensure we are not much tired from all the travel and turns, in Gangtok the two best places to visit are Natula pass and Tsongu lake, casino visit in Gangtok is a must, but please ensure you are not carrying much cash or cards, otherwise you might end up spending a lot.

This was the end to our trip, but we ensured to get window seats on right side of the place to have one last glimpse of the mighty Himalayas.

Few quick points to cover before you leave, warm clothing, some cash and camera. What you bring back is lot of memories.
