The Old Silk Route in Sikkim is one of India’s most scenic and historic mountain trails. Stretching through winding roads, lush forests, alpine meadows and high-altitude valleys, the Silk Route connects remote villages such as Zuluk, Kupup, Nathang Valley, Lungthung and Thambi Viewpoint. With mesmerizing sunrises, rhododendron blooms and snow-kissed landscapes in winter, this journey is a dream for travelers seeking both beauty and heritage.
