For travellers from Chennai, Sikkim offers a completely different holiday atmosphere, with cool mountain weather, winding roads, traditional monasteries and beautiful Himalayan scenery. The journey is especially rewarding for those who want a break from coastal city life and wish to explore a quieter side of the mountains.

To reach Sikkim, travellers can take a flight from Chennai to Bagdogra, either directly when available or through a connecting city, and continue to Gangtok by road. A Sikkim holiday package from Chennai can be planned around the places you want to explore, rather than simply covering attractions one after another. Spend time at Gangtok's MG Marg, learn about Buddhist culture at Rumtek Monastery, admire the high-altitude beauty of Tsomgo Lake or travel towards North Sikkim to see Lachung and Yumthang Valley. Each destination offers a different experience, making the journey suitable for families, couples and nature lovers.
