    Day 1

    Yuksam Hike and Sightseeing + Tashiding Hike and Sightseeing + Khechupelri Lake Hike and Sightseeing + Pelling Hike and Sightseeing (1785m/1200m/1800m/2100m) (4 to 5 hrs drive / 2 to 3 hrs hike)

    Early morning hike to Dubdi monastery located at the hilltop of Yuksam. Dubdi monastery is the oldest and one of the holiest monasteries in Sikkim. It was also known as the “Hermit's Cell” after its ascetic founder Lhatsun Namkha Jigme, who along with two other lamas from Tibet met at Norbugang near Yuksam and crowned Phuntsog Namgyal as the first religious King or Chogyal of Sikkim at Norbugang Yuksam in 1642. The literal meaning of 'Dubdi' in the local language is "the retreat". After the visit drives back to visit Kathok lake, a holy lake located at the heart of Yuksam village, and the Coronation throne which is locally known as Norbugang where the first religious king of Sikkim was crowned. Later after breakfast drive for a visit to Tashiding monastery. Tashiding monastery was founded in 1641 by Ngadak Sempa Chempo Phunshok Rigzing who belonged to the Nyingma sect of Tibetan Buddhism. Ngadak was one of the three wise men who held the consecration ceremony crowning the first King of Sikkim at Yuksam. It was extended and renovated in 1717 during the reign of the third Chogyal Chakdor Namgyal. Bhumchu Ceremony' or festival is a popular religious festival that is held on the 14th and 15th days of the first month of the Tibetan Calendar. After lunch at Tashiding drive on for a visit to Khechupelri lake with a visit to beautiful Phamrong Waterfalls on the way. Khechupelri means “the wish-fulfilling lake”. It is widely and commonly believed that once you visit the lake all wishes in your mind will be fulfilled. The water in this lake is placid and crystal clear. Not even a single leaf can be seen floating on the surface of the water surface although there is a beautiful dense forest above the lake. If a leaf drops on the surface of the water it is picked by a bird and keeps it clean. Khechupelri has two monasteries to visit, one on the top of the hill and one close to the lake. After a visit to Khechupelri lake head-on for a visit to Pelling. Pelling is one of the famous hill stations of India and especially famous among Indian tourists. Here you will visit be visiting Pemayangtse Monastery, Sangacholin Monastery, Sky Walk, Chenrezig Statue & Rabdentshe Place ruins. PEMAYANGTSE MONASTERY is located less than a kilometer from the main pelling. It is the most important monastery of the Nyingmapa order and was first built as a small temple in the late seventeenth century by Latsun Chembu. Later it was built into a big monastery by the third incarnation of lama Lhatsun chembu.The monastery houses numerous religious idols and other objects of worship, most of which are priceless because of their antiquity. One of the most important, significant, and famous sculptures of the monastery is a WOODEN sculpture portraying the MAHAGURU'S HEAVENLY PALACE SANGTHOKPALRI. It is a hand-made sculpture by a single Rimpoche and is a treat to watch. The main dance of the monastery is on the 28th and 29th day of the 12th month of the Tibetan calendar, normally corresponding to February three days before Losar (Buddhist new year). Later visit SANGACHOLIN MONASTERY which is the second oldest monastery in Sikkim after DUBDI MONASTERY at Yuksam. Sky Walk and Chenrezig statue near Sangacholin Monastery is a new attraction to explore in Pelling. RABDENTSE PALACE RUINS is an hour walk from PEMAYANGTSE MONASTERY and was the second capital of Sikkim. Here one can have a closer look at the ruins of the old palace. After the visit drives back to Yuksam the same way or stays for the night in Pelling. One can stay at Pelling or either choose to drive back to Yuksam!
