Fambong Lho Wildlife Sanctuary

Reviewed By Soham_Globetrotter - Kolkata (Calcutta), India

A couple of friends of mine and I decided to go on a day long trek from Gangtok. The Tinjurey trek was the perfect fit. We contacted Lords Tours and Travels of Gangtok and had to pay up Rs. 2500/- per head for the trek, which included the commute to and from the Fhambong lo Wildlife sanctuary, permits, a guide and lunch. My friends, who didn't have much experience in trekking were slightly apprehensive, given that it was a trek up to an altitude of 8000+ feet. However, the sheer beauty and the feel of adventure got the adrenaline pumping. We were blessed to have a 23 year-old guy, Biraj as our guide who kept our spirits high throughout the 4-5km hike. Fortune favoured us as it snowed at the top of the hill on the day of our trek. We had a fabulous day with scintillating views on our way. I won't say much and would let the pictures do the talking . To sum it up, the Tinjurey trek from the Fhambong lo Wildlife Sanctuary is a definite must for anyone visiting Gangtok. If you like trekking, you will love this experience, and even if you don't, the scenic views will have you awestruck! :)
