The Stillness Trail – A 6-Day Drift through Sikkim

Arrive at Bagdogra Airport and take a gentle drive to Gangtok, where your slow travel begins.

As the day winds down, stroll through MG Road, tasting street food, picking up souvenirs, and letting the crisp mountain air set the tone for the days ahead.

Overnight in Gangtok

Start your day at the Namgyal Institute of Tibetology, where ancient scriptures and murals whisper tales of Tibetan culture.

Continue to Ranka Monastery for a quiet chanting session that stills the mind.

Later, float above Gangtok on a cable car ride, and close the day watching Kanchenjunga catch fire at sunset from Tashi View Point.

Leave early for a dreamy drive past Tsomgo Lake and the mist-laced Nathula Pass. Follow the ancient Silk Route, zigzagging through the Nathang Valley, with pauses at view points that reveal the quiet grandeur of the Himalayas.

Arrive in Zuluk, a mountain hamlet far from the noise, and settle into your boutique homestay nestled in solitude.

Overnight in Zuluk

This is your slowest day yet. Wake up with the sun to panoramic views of Mount Kanchenjunga. Walk through the winding loops of Zuluk’s famous zigzag roads.

Talk to the locals. Sip butter tea. Try Sikkimese dumplings. Let the day breathe.

Overnight in Zuluk

Drive to Kalimpong, taking a detour to Tarey Bhir, a cliffside ledge where valleys unfurl beneath your feet. Pause at the confluence of the Teesta and Rangeet Rivers—two powerful flows meeting in a whisper.

Try river rafting if you’re up for it, or simply soak in the views. End the day at Kalimpong’s Cactus Garden, a quiet marvel of nature’s oddities.

After breakfast, drive back to Bagdogra Airport, carrying with you not just memories—but moments you didn’t rush through.

Trip ends. But something slower begins.
