Starting our North East journey, everything felt well-planned and seamless from the very beginning. The hotels in Gangtok were perfectly located, making evening strolls around MG Marg super convenient. The Nathu La permits were arranged without any hassle, which made the experience even better. Visiting in January added a magical touch, with misty landscapes all around making the trip feel truly special and memorable.
