Gangtok with Tsomgo Lake Shortbreak
Per Person on Twin Sharing basis
Jeep excursions running 60km each way to the Tibetan border post at Nathu La, via small glacial lake Tsomgo (Changu) at 3780m, are wildly popular with Indian tourists getting a first taste of snow. However, permits are required, strict timings enforced and foreigners aren't allowed to go to the border zone at all so cannot join the widely advertised tours.
