Ranjeet Bharadwaj

Pelling is a beautiful Himalayan hamlet that everyone should explore. This tour has so many places to go, starting from Gangtok, Tsomgo lake, Baba Mandir and Nathula to Ravangla and Pelling. It covers so many exotic locations in North Sikkim. We were given a day-long tour of Pelling where we went to two big falls-Rimbi Falls, and Kanchenjunga falls, and a sacred lake- Khecheopalri Lake. The tour did not end here, we were further taken to the undulating tea gardens of Darjeeling and went to Tiger Hill for watching the breathtaking peak of Kanchenjunga and surrounding mountains during sunrise. I am glad I had a good camera and my guide quickly learned how to operate it. Took so many pictures of every destination. Most of our hotel rooms had beautiful scenic views of the mountains and surrounding vegetation and the food was served fresh and tasty.

I had the best trip of my life in Sikkim, Pelling and Ravangla are such pretty places in North Sikkim. I along with 2 friends took this package and I am glad that we got the best deal from Thrillophilia. Whatever it offered us was always in abundance, be it food, or destinations. Our driver played songs of our choice and our guide was quite shy yet an interesting person. He became friendly by day 2 and we enjoyed a lot. Thank you so much team!

It took us around 3 hours to reach lake Tsomgo, the roads are not in good condition. I booked this tour because I was very much interested in exploring North east. Our guide was a very funny person, well-versed with every route of Sikkim. We used to take pit stops at rural and local shops for refreshments and he got me some of the best Momos in Sikkim. All in all, our stay was arranged in good hotels and we tasted a lot of local dishes on this trip.
