View Day-by-DayPrices are as they were when this itinerary was finalised (in June 2026). We price your own trip live, to your dates.
Pre-book a single driver (Innova/Xylo) for the whole 6-day Bagdogra loop as a package — no daily negotiation and smoother mountain drives.
Arrange the Nathu La + Tsomgo Lake permit on the first evening at the DC Office in Gangtok. Carry original Aadhaar/Passport and confirm road status the night before; the pass can close in bad weather.
Nathu La sits at 14,140 ft. Avoid alcohol the night before, carry water and light snacks, and allow a 1–1.5 hr buffer on all mountain drives.
Withdraw cash in Gangtok — Pelling and Ravangla have limited ATMs.
Gangtok to Pelling via Ravangla and Namchi is a long ~145 km day. Start by 8:30 am and keep sightseeing stops brief.
