Travel to the land of ice
If you are thinking about to go to travel to the land of ice then Sikkim is the best option. Sikkim is a Northeastern state of India which is the smallest state of the country. This place is bordered by the Tibet Autonomous Region of China to the north and northeast, by Bhutan to the southeast, by the West Bengal to the south, and by Nepal to the west. The capital of Sikkim is Gangtok.
Nowadays Sikkim Gangtok is a popular tourists spot for couples. Magnificent natural beauty of this place brings joy to human mind. As per our opinion 5 days will be the good plan if you thinking to plan to Sikkim tour. The Nearest Rail station is NJP (New Jalpaiguri) and nearest airport is Bag Dogra which is an international airport. Actually, Pack Yong will be the nearest Airport to Gangtok from where Gangtok Is only 30 km. But the problem is it is not an International Airport. But my personal experience is do not ticket for NJP but better directly come to Siliguri rail station and take bus or hire any transport to go to Gangtok.
Day 1: After arriving at rail station or Airport you may hire bus or cab to reach hotel in Gangtok. But if are not tired my recommend to you please visit MC Marg.
