North Sikkim Closed? Don’t Cancel Your Plans – Explore These Hidden Gems with Tourbix Ride

If you’re planning a trip to Sikkim but the roads to North Sikkim (Lachung, Lachen, or Gurudongmar) are closed, don’t worry – your adventure doesn’t have to stop. There are equally breathtaking destinations in Sikkim that offer similar landscapes, mountain views, and unique local culture.

And the best part? Tourbix Ride is ready to take you there – safely, comfortably, and affordably.

1. Zuluk – The Eastern Jewel

Nestled in East Sikkim, Zuluk is known for its dramatic hairpin bends and panoramic views of the Eastern Himalayas. The landscape is raw, wild, and mesmerizing – much like the high-altitude routes of North Sikkim.

Must-see: Thambi View Point, Zuluk Loop Road

Tourbix Ride Tip: Our drivers are trained for mountain roads, so sit back and enjoy the journey.

2. Nathang Valley – Sikkim’s Hidden Heaven

Located near Zuluk, Nathang Valley sits at over 13,000 feet and is often called the “Ladakh of East Sikkim.” Surrounded by snow-capped peaks and vast plains, it’s perfect for those who love peaceful, offbeat destinations.

Why Go: Snow in winter, stargazing at night, and wide, open views.

Tourbix Ride Add-On: Book a round trip from Gangtok with stopovers at Old Baba Mandir and Kupup Lake.

3. Ravangla – South Sikkim’s Scenic Retreat

With stunning views of Mt. Kanchenjunga, Ravangla is a soulful destination that’s easily accessible even when North Sikkim is closed. Enjoy peaceful monasteries, local food, and cozy village stays.

Tourbix Ride Advantage: We offer custom day trips and overnight packages to Ravangla from Siliguri, Gangtok, and Pelling.
