Early morning visit Tiger Hill for fabulous sun rise views of Mt. Kanchenjunga, the third highest mountain in the world at 7409m. Mt. Everest and a host of other Himalayan giants are also seen on the horizon. On our drive back to the hotel we will stop at Ghoom, a Tibetan- Buddhist monastery. After breakfast we shall visit the old botanical gardens to see the collection of rare orchids and other plants. After lunch visit the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute, the Tibetan Refugee Camp and the local market.
The mighty Kanchenjunga towers above this charming town like a gigantic ship floating upon a sea of clouds. In the distance, Mt. Everest retains its aloofness. The town itself is a typical Indian “hill-station”, catering mainly to a large influx of plains people escaping the summer heat. There is “the mall” of course, a promenade with fashionable stores alongside and Kanchenjunga playing hide and seek above. The lower regions of the town are teeming with colourful tribesmen working or trading on seasonal basis. All around the town are picturesque tea-plantations and visit to them is a must. Overnight stay at the hotel.
After breakfast visit the Bhutia busty monastery & Tong Soong monastery. PM Lecture by an expert on Buddhism. Overnight stay at the hotel.
Half day drive to Pemayangtse. Today’s drive is truly a naturalist’s delight. The hillsides and mountain slopes of Sikkim are strewn with bright patches of myriad colors. The lower mountain slopes are abundant with lush green bamboo and ferns. The northern valley are draped with wild cherry, oaks, chestnut, pines as well as magnolia variety’s called Magnolia Campbell and Michelia Doltsopa. The higher altitude are abloom with with 46 species of Rhododendrons. And of course, Sikkim 600 varieties of orchids are everywhere. This day 05 hours drive is interesting as we move upstream along the river Rangit through dense forest of Sal and Teak.

My friends and I have many thoughts of our tour of India for good memories. Overall we had a "Glimpse of India" that was good value for money. The hotels were very good. The rooms on whole were clean and comfortable. Service in the hotels was excellent everywhere and the food also.
