Look out for these

Tsango Lake

At an altitude of 3780m on Gangtok, Nathula highway, this is one of the sacred lakes of Sikkim. The place is fringed by mountains that remains frozen almost half the year and is certainly a place to capture the beauty of the region on film.

Khecheopalri Lake

This is a beautiful lake with a sacred significance as well.

Temi Tea Garden

As the only surviving tea garden of Sikkim, The Temi Tea Garden, carries with it the legacy of colonial times as well as the reputation of producing some of the finest teas in the region. The premises are open to visitors; we do recommend that you take some time off to walk in here to experience tea-making.

Sikkim Helicopter Service

This service ferries passengers between Gangtok and Bagdogra airport and is just not a convenient mode of transport; it is an exclusive way of seeing Sikkim from the skies and the views are inevitable breathtaking on clear days.

Sikkim Helicopter Service also conducts special mountain flights, besides the regular runs to Bagdogra Airport and back. From the helicopter, you can view the majesty of the Himalayan peaks from close up like never before.

What Our Client Says

  • "As tour manager of Joe Far Tours I want to thank you for the great services my group received during Oracle-festivals from March 11 - 20, 2011. We stayed in the best hotel of town with good central heating and excellent food and service, had new cars with friendly and helpful drivers and a very experienced local guide Tashi. Besides that you personally came to check everything! Your service even included a reserved area with chairs during festival, lunch and hot tea.

    Thanks again and I am looking forward to your services in Changthang in July 2011."

  • "I arrived in Ladakh with only six precious days and no semblance of a plan. Odpal George and his team at Himalayan Safaris worked with me on short notice to set up a fantastic tour, including a 3-day trek from Likir to Lamayuru. Their service and local knowledge were top notch, and I assumed that their prices would be high -- but after checking around town with other tour operators, I realized they were right in line. I highly recommend working with Himalayan Safaris."

  • Himalayan Safaris and Odpal George are excellent. They handled our Leh experience comprehensively, taking care of our every need, while remaining very flexible in ensuring we got the best experiences in spite of weather changes (it rained in Leh). Peter, the trek guide, was fantastic along the trek, chatty, knowledgeable about the trek area, the flora and fauna. He made good decisions on how to keep the trek experience high as the weather changed. Stenzin, our main guide at the gompas, was a fountain of knowledge. Even the drivers Egbol and Naxir, where efficient and courteous.

  • I wanted to take this opportunity to thanks you, your brother Peter and your staff for a delightful stay in Ladakh. It was a pleasure to get to know Tashi and we all enjoyed seeing the scenery, temples and towns of the region. I especially appreciated you and your company's flexibility in helping us with our changing plans.

    Finally, we so enjoyed our stay at your hotel in Sabu. The rooms were great and well designed. The food was wonderful and the staff was friendly and experienced. You and Peter have clearly put a lot of thought into it.

    We had a wonderful experience with you and would recommend it to anyone.
