Namgyal Treks & Tours

We are also one of the only Tour operators in Sikkim licensed to organize Mountaineering Expeditions in the Indian Himalayas. We have successfully organized many expeditions in Sikkim as well as all over the himalayas in the past.

Mountaineering expeditions, unlike treks, require more planning and paperwork as clearance is required from the Indian Mountaineering Foundation, New Delhi. Besides these the local governments also impose Peak royalties.
