We also made a stop at the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute. The highlight of the day was the Darjeeling ropeway.

If you are wondering how to travel to Darjeeling and Sikkim, then the only way is by car. Teesta river followed us throughout our road journey. It looked all so beautiful. We reached our hotel where we settled in. We went for parasailing for a dose of adventure and peak beautiful aerial views of Darjeeling and Sikkim Himalayas. We then headed to MG Road for a nice stroll. The market was jutted with handloom showrooms, shops, and restaurants.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\u00a0<a class=\"mustread-link\" href=\"https:\/\/traveltriangle.com\/blog\/vidhyaa-honeymoon-trip-to-gangtok-travelogue\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Vidhya\u2019s Honeymoon Trip To Gangtok Was All About Adventure &amp; Fun!<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Day 5: Drive to Nathu La<\/h3>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-332547\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.traveltriangle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/20190321_114835.jpg\" alt=\"way to nathu la\" width=\"700\" height=\"400\" \/><\/div>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-332556\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.traveltriangle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/20190321_114109.jpg\" alt=\"snow covered mountains\" width=\"700\" height=\"408\" \/><\/div>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-332559\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.traveltriangle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/20190321_111810.jpg\" alt=\"enjoying the weather\" width=\"700\" height=\"403\" \/><\/div>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-332560\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.traveltriangle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/20190321_111229.jpg\" alt=\"delighted to see the snow everywhere\" width=\"700\" height=\"408\" \/><\/div>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-332562\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.traveltriangle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/20190319_123009.jpg\" alt=\"snow all over place\" width=\"700\" height=\"410\" \/><\/div>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-332565\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.traveltriangle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_20190318_072234.jpg\" alt=\"witness the heavy snow in himalayas\" width=\"700\" height=\"404\" \/><\/div>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-332567\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.traveltriangle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/20190321_132901.jpg\" alt=\"visit to the temples to seek blessings\" width=\"700\" height=\"402\" \/><\/div>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-332570\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.traveltriangle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/20190321_133141.jpg\" alt=\"prayer bells\" width=\"700\" height=\"405\" \/><\/div>\n<p>It was so cold.

The rooms were nice and cozy equipped with all kinds of facilities to make our stay comfortable. It even had an in-house restaurant that served regional, Indian, and continental delicacies.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Lindsay Himalayan Heights Hotel &#8211; Gangtok<\/h3>\n<p>For the rest of our honeymoon, we spent our days in Gangtok and stayed at Lindsay Himalayan Heights Hotel. It was a boutique party and the views from the window were gorgeous. Our hotel was just 7 minutes from MG market. So, we could go out at any time in the day.

However, food was expensive in particular. It cost more than 300 rupees per head including service charge, even for smaller items like soup, fried rice, etc. Though the food was delicious.
