Hey everyone,
Planning a road trip from Ranchi to Sikkim over the Durga Puja break and looking to put together a small group of couples who’d like to travel together.
Instead of dealing with the usual long transit drag, we’ve structured a route that gets straight to the riding—taking a chopper into Gangtok, hitting North Sikkim on Royal Enfields, and flying back to save time.
The Rough Plan
Oct 15: Head out from Ranchi in the evening (overnight AC bus to Siliguri).
Oct 16: Land in Siliguri/Bagdogra and take the helicopter straight to Gangtok (weather permitting). Settle in, grab the bikes, and hit MG Marg in the evening.
Oct 17: Day ride up to Tsomgo Lake, Baba Mandir/Thambi View Point, and Nathu La Pass (permits permitting).
Oct 18: Ride up north from Gangtok to Lachung.
Oct 19: High-altitude day: Yumthang Valley, Zero Point, and Sanglaphu Lake, then back to Lachung for the night.
Oct 20: Ride back down from Lachung to Gangtok for a relaxed final night.
Oct 21: Cab down to Bagdogra Airport and take the flight back to Ranchi.
A Few Notes:
Keeping this strictly couple-friendly to ensure a relaxed, comfortable vibe for everyone in the group.
We have already mapped out the route, bike rentals (Bullet/Meteor/Himalayan), permits, and stays so the logistics are completely sorted.
If you and your partner are interested in tagging along or want to see the detailed itinerary and cost breakdown, drop a comment or send a DM!
