Adventure Sports in Sikkim

Sikkim is a paradise for adventure sports lovers. Its fabulous topography offers a dazzling variety of adventure options. Go climbing, trekking, enjoy river rafting, try mountain biking, take a yak safari or thrill to the joy of hang-gliding.

There are more staid options such as special interest tours like exploring the world of orchids, whildlife and butterflies …….. or just meandering leisurely down sylvan trails, not far from snowy peaks…….

Trekking
Equipment can be hired at reasonable prices from Sikkim Tourism or recognized travel agents/tour operators. Since the more rewarding treks are in altitudes from 6000 ft to 14000 ft, or higher, you must ensure that you are physically capable.

Sikkim is also extremely ecology-conscious. Either bury you waste deep, or repack it and carry it away for suitable disposal. Trekkers’ huts are located at Pemayangtse, Khecheopalri, Yuksam, Tsokha, Dzongri, Thangsing, Zemathang, Chaurigang, Tashiding, Varsey, Yangang, Ravangla, Sang and Sikp. Small hotels are coming up at many base stations and places en route.

Water Sports
White water rafting and kayaking trips are arranged on the Teesta and Rangit Rivers.

Heli- Tours
A special thrill is the discovery of Sikkim’s glorious charms through the Sikkim Mountain Flights. The Sikkim Helicopter services (SHS) use five-seater helicopters for these mountain flights. Great views and photo opportunities!
