Lachen Sikkim Tour Packages

Hotels at Gangtok was great. But at lachen and lachung it was just avg as you had said 3 star hotel, they are not even 2 star but good,neat and clean, awesome people those were providing service there. Cab was also good but the cab given to pick from airport was 3rd class and driver’s attitude was worsen. When I complaint it to Cordinator.. he responded very negatively. So they spoiled the very first moment of trip. But that everything was fine.

The trip will remain in memories for long long time. The place and the nature’s beauty just makes u forget all negativity and mesmerises you with its beauty all the way. We started our trip from Bagdogra heading towards Darjeeling. The drive and the exciting feeling of start of the trip just hit right nodes with the very old legacy of toy train. We head to Lachen and the drive in itself was an adventure. You could feel the cold till u r bones. But that wasn’t enough there was a lot more Lachen had to offer. The early morning trip to Gurdaongar lake where we witnessed our first snowfall was such a surreal experience. Post that all the places we went it was pure beauty with snow laden hills. A white cap of snow everywhere and anywhere you could see. And never the least the cabs drivers and the hotels offered by travel triangle were very good to accommodate almost all our needs except a few which you cannot ignore. But, all in all very thankful to travel triangle to have give the right advice and make the trip even more memorable. The best memory of my trip is witnessing the first snowfall of my life at Lachen followed by second at Lachung and Yumthang valley followed by third at Tsongo lake. Snowie trip it was.

Overall trip management is good by mr subrata. Hotels provided is budget hotels. Hotel golden valley at lachung needs to improved rest all hotels provided at lachen and gangtok are good. Driver bijay is very experienced guy. Overall trip is good enjoy a lot.

Our Experience in Detail - We had booked Lachung and Lachen only with Pick a Place for 35,000. The first night of the arrival, our hotel was changed but our travel partner did not know about it. The room was alright. After that, a series of unfortunate events led to frustration and inconvenience. The weather was bad and hence we couldn't travel to Lachen or Lachung the next day. Our travel partner asked us to stay in Gangtok for a day. We were confused and later frustrated because we dint know where we would stay the next day. We thought our travel partner would be a little proactive in arranging a hotel for us but he kept asking us what would we want to do! He arranged a stay but we preferred to book our own since we got better rates and better hotel. We were hassled as we had to check out from the existing hotel and move out. Our travel partner didn't have a Plan B. He kept giving us options like he is obliging us, he used words like this is only as a courtesy. We were constantly hassled and left to decide what would we like to do in case we don't get a permit for Lachen or Lachung. The entire trip became a decision-making experience rather than a vacation. Finally, only Lachung happened. When asked how will they compensate for the missed trip to Lachen, the travel partner argued and said no refund will be provided because of natural causes. We had paid 35,000 for the trip but after all the hue and cry and arguments, our travel partner refunded 9500. We were advised by the cops to file a complaint if our travel partner doesn't refund the money for Lachen travel as the permit wasn't given for Lachen. But we chose to not complain but ask our travel partner to refund whatever it is. We were told by locals that Lachen and Lachung experience costs 1/4th of what we paid. We realized it is better to coordinate with locals and the drivers and explore rather than take these packages and waste money. We availed a night in a hotel in Gangtok, a trip to Lachung and a night stay there and return for 24,500. This left us feeling cheated and disappointed. All this with no sense of relaxation. We were constantly calling and asking our travel partner what is his plan B in case nothing happens because of bad weather but he kept bombarding us with decisions to take. We constantly felt this could have been thought through. Our advice would be - don't rely on travels and tour people. Do your research and go! Sikkim is indeed beautiful but we left robbed and let down. Had to say this since our travel partner is still arguing that they provided a good experience rather than accepting that they weren't what they sold to us.

All stays were Excellent except lachen donkhila. That place was horrible...also request you to suggest getting heaters or arranging for guests especially during winters Sightseeing was neatly arranged. Appreciate Bhushan Das a lot who drove us to lachen lachung and gangtok. He was wonderful. Sikkim is beautiful.

Accommodation was below expectations and trip cost. Cab and driver provided was good and we faced no trouble on journey. 3 meals mentioned in Lachen in itenary, should have mentioned what would be provided as only Bread and butter was served for Breakfast and Lunch wasn't even provided. Travel agent was good and accommodating to any changes required

Accomodation and road travel services were good but you guys should have information from the locals of the place regarding the weather. Since it snowed in december we were not able to see places in lachen and lachung.. Also nathula place. Only darjeeling we were able to see places as per itenary. Lachen lachung was just a visit. Snowing was okay. But then because of snowing none of the cars went to gurdongmar lake an d yamthung valley as there was no grip on the car. This particular info should be with travel agent otherwise travellers coming from far will be dissapointed after spending huge monry.

Enjoyed the trip to Sikkim. Overall arrangements done by Tourepedia were good and well planned. Cab and drivers were also good specially the driver who was with us in Lachen and Lachung, we only had bad experience with the driver who dropped us to Gangtok, he was very unprofessional. Food was great throughout the trip the missing part was room heater, it should be included in the package.
