Dzongu — Lepcha Country
Package ID: TG-IN-002732
Sikkim · Nature · Sikkim — Dzongu, a protected Lepcha reserve in North Sikkim below Kanchenjunga, is one of the Himalaya's most serene and least-visited corners — the traditional Lepcha villages and homestays, the hot springs, the cardamom and orange terraces, the sacred rivers and the trek routes toward Tholung. This tour takes in the villages, springs and forest of the guardian Lepcha land, a genuinely offbeat culture-and-nature journey; permits are required. Pricing is confirmed at quotation.
