Package FAQs
Can I do Nathula on a 4-day trip?
Yes, on day 2 or 3. We avoid Mondays and Tuesdays automatically because the pass is closed, and file your permit the afternoon you arrive.
Is this suitable for children?
Yes for most. Tsomgo (12,400 ft) is a short visit; for children under 6 we suggest skipping Nathula and spending longer at the lake.
