Sikkim remained a mountain kingdom until the mid-1970s, but it still has its distinct character that you can experience and see for yourself with the right tour package. The best Sikkim tour packages will introduce you to the Tibetan Buddhism monasteries that are notable for their peaceful surroundings and murals. You will get to see Hindu shrines of the thriving community of Nepalis. And while religion may encompass most of the culture and tradition of the area, you are likely to enjoy the landscapes and many opportunities for adventures in subtropical forests, labyrinths of steep and plunging valleys, and the snow-capped eastern Himalayan peaks. Here are some of the tour packages you can consider in Sikkim:

A homestay experience – One of the best Sikkim tour packages will take you on a 5-day, 4-night homestay experience with opportunities for adventures on the Himalayan trail.

A tour of Ravangala – Situated in West Sikkim is the picturesque town of Ravangala, nestled on a ridge between Tendong and Maenam Hill. It offers a market and breathtaking views of Mount Narsing. On a clear day, you should be able to see the snow-capped peaks and lovely landscapes of the surrounding area. There are Sikkim tour packages that can let you experience this tour for four days and three nights.

Temi adventure – Temi Tea Estate is in Ravangla where village tourism keeps the place alive and well.

Cultural tour – Trekking is one of the common activities in Sikkim tour packages, but as you go on this type of adventure, you should be able to enjoy the local culture in the town itself. Some tour companies can customize a tour package to suit your preference. For instance, you can have a tour of the silk route between India and Tibet or head over to Chalamthang for its shrines and Borong for its paper factory.
