Hidden Gem
Aritar, Rhenock, Pakyong District, East Sikkim
Perched at 4,600 feet in the lower reaches of the Silk Route corridor, Lampokhari ('Boot-shaped Lake') is one of Sikkim's oldest natural water bodies. Fringed by verdant pine groves, it features paddle boating, a serene lakeside pathway, and the hilltop Mankhim viewpoint offering 360-degree vistas.
Hidden Gem
Lachen Village, North Sikkim
Perched at 8,838 feet along the Lachen Chu River, Lachen is governed by the traditional Dzumsa village council. Its historic monastery, built in 1858, commands panoramic views of conifer hillsides and serves as the gateway for treks to Green Lake and Mount Kanchenjunga's northern base.
Hidden Gem
Lachung, North Sikkim
Described by explorer Joseph Dalton Hooker as the most picturesque village in Sikkim, Lachung lies at 8,600 feet flanked by towering snowy crags and rushing glacier streams. Known for its warm wooden homestays, apple orchards, and handloom weaving, it is the classic base for Yumthang.
Hidden Gem
Nathang Valley, Old Silk Route, East Sikkim
Originally inhabited by traditional Tibetan yak herders, Nathang Valley is a high-altitude bowl at 13,500 feet with picturesque wooden hamlets, a Buddhist Gompa, and an old British war memorial. It changes character dramatically through the year — golden in autumn, blanketed in deep snow in winter, and covered in wild gentians in monsoon.
Hidden Gem
Near Uttarey, 28 km from Pelling, West Sikkim
Spanning over 240 meters across a deep gorge near Dentam, Singshore Bridge is an engineering marvel and Asia's second highest suspension bridge. Walking across offers exhilarating views down to the gushing river 100 meters below, surrounded by verdant mountain ridges and waterfalls.
Hidden Gem
Sadam Village, 14 km from Namchi, South Sikkim
An offbeat gem near Sadam village, Tarey Bhir is a 3 km razor-sharp ridge projecting high above the confluence of the Teesta and Rangit rivers. A paved pathway with protective railings lets walkers stroll out over the dizzying 3,500-foot drop, with views of Kalimpong hills and Darjeeling tea gardens.
Hidden Gem
Yuksom, West Sikkim
Yuksom ('Meeting place of the three learned lamas') is the historic first capital of Sikkim. Here at Norbugang Park sits the ancient stone coronation throne where Phuntsog Namgyal was consecrated as the first king in 1642. The sacred footprint of the head lama remains stamped into a stone nearby.
