Through the Hills & Hurdles: Our Eventful Journey to Gangtok

Our road trip from Bagdogra to Gangtok took an unexpected turn when landslides and fallen poles tested our patience and courage. As GREF bulldozers cleared debris and monkeys watched from the hills, the journey transformed into an unforgettable Himalayan adventure. It reminded us that in the mountains, every delay is nature’s way of making you slow down and truly see.

Tsomgo Lake: Where the Mountains Whisper Legends

On a crisp March morning, we set out from Gangtok toward Tsomgo Lake, a shimmering jewel at 12,400 feet. The winding roads revealed forests, waterfalls, and grazing yaks. When we finally reached the serene, mirror-like lake, its calm beauty was both humbling and magical. Between yak rides, steaming momos, and whispered legends, Tsomgo offered pure Himalayan enchantment.
