North Sikkim is truly heaven on earth, and Destino Darjeeling made the experience even better! The snow-covered Gurudongmar Lake took my breath away. Every arrangement—from hotels to food—was perfect. I’ll cherish this trip forever!

This was our first trip to North Sikkim and I must say, it felt like a dream. Lachen and Lachung were picture-perfect. Destino Darjeeling ensured we were comfortable despite the high altitude. Best part? The sunrise at Yumthang Valley!

Gangtok was lively, but the real magic began in Lachen and Lachung. The entire journey felt mystical—just like the tour name! The team managed the entire itinerary smoothly. We felt safe, warm, and well-guided throughout. Highly recommended!
