Gangtok Meditation & Mindfulness Retreat — 4N / 5D
Package ID: TG-CITY-001965
Meditation & Mindfulness · Sikkim · Hill capital — A quiet, contemplative stay in Gangtok — meditation and stillness, at a slow and gentle rhythm. Clean, orderly and noticeably different in character from the West Bengal hills below it. The draw is what surrounds the town rather than the town itself: Tsomgo Lake and Nathula on the China border, both requiring permits arranged in advance, and monasteries at Rumtek and Enchey. Permits are the thing to plan around — Nathula in particular is restricted, closed to foreign nationals, and subject to closure at short notice. This 4-night meditation & mindfulness package is built around Gangtok's real highlights, priced on enquiry and tailored to your dates — the day-by-day below is a flexible framework.
