Package FAQs

Is Tsomgo Lake safe for a 70-year-old?

Usually as a short visit at 12,400 ft if blood pressure is normal, but it is optional in this package; we never schedule Nathula, Zero Point or Gurudongmar.

Are the hotels wheelchair friendly?

We book properties with lifts or ground-floor rooms and direct car drop-off, such as Udaan Woodberry in Gangtok, Sikkim Sarovar in Ravangla and selected Pelling hotels.
