This 11-day mountain biking trip to the Sikkim Himalayas' highest areas is a challenging and exciting option even for experienced bikers. The tour takes you to some of the magical landscapes of the remote alpine plateau of North Sikkim close to the Tibet border, to the highest village of the nomadic yak herders and Yumthang Rhododendron flower valley. The route covers almost the entire North Sikkim while you stay in Mangan, Lachung, Lachen and Thangu. One of the nights you spend in a camp near the Alpine Rhododendron Valley in Yumthang at 3600 meters. The highest accommodation is at Thangu Village at 4000 meters. You will be cycling through Trans-Himalayan Zone in North Sikkim with a possible visit to Gurudongmar Lake at 5500 meters (Only for Indian Nationals).
