All destinations
Mountains, Monasteries & Sunrises
South Sikkim
Discover spectacular viewpoints, historic monasteries and landscapes shaped by the southern Himalayas.
The south is where Sikkim opens out into long views and gentle ridges. Dawn here can be extraordinary, with the first light catching Kanchenjunga while the valleys below are still in shadow.
It is also a region rich in heritage, home to some of the state’s most revered monasteries and quiet hilltop towns. We build in early mornings for the sunrises, unhurried monastery visits, and time to simply take in the scale of the mountains.
