Silk Route Tour East Sikkim takes you deep into one of the most breathtaking, raw, and historically significant mountain routes of the Eastern Himalayas, and in this episode of Urojahaaz, we bring you a complete one-day sightseeing journey from the charming high-altitude village of Zuluk to the serene and dramatic Kupup Lake, also known as Elephant Lake. This cinematic journey along the Old Silk Route of Sikkim reveals stunning landscapes, extreme altitude changes, and legendary locations that once connected India with Tibet through ancient trade routes. Starting from Zuluk, famous for its iconic zig-zag roads and mist-covered mornings, the route gradually unfolds into panoramic mountain views and adventurous Himalayan roads that define an authentic Silk Route Tour experience.

We explore key highlights like Ganek View Point and Thambi View Point, offering stunning panoramas of the famous Zuluk loops and snow-covered Himalayan ranges. The journey then moves into the dramatic Nathang Valley, known as the Ladakh of East Sikkim, with its vast high-altitude landscapes, followed by a drive through historic Tukla Valley and a visit to the revered Baba Harbhajan Singh Mandir, a symbol of faith and patriotism maintained by the Indian Army.

The route continues into the scenic Kupup Valley near the Indo-China border and concludes at the iconic Kupup Lake (Elephant Lake). This video acts as a complete Silk Route Tour Guide, perfect for planning a Silk Route Tour in East Sikkim beyond Gangtok with real road visuals and travel insights.
