Himalayan Heritage Trek
Himalayan Heritage Trek in Sikkim is a very popular low-altitude village trek that gives a chance to take in the Himalayas' splendour without having to travel to very high altitudes. It's an opportunity to fully immerse oneself in the genuine way of life of the people of Sikkim, not simply a hike. You can feel spiritually and culturally enlightened as well as acquire important insights into the native tribal culture by visiting various villages every day and taking part in their daily routines.
This trek offers a wide range of experiences, from trekking through semi-tropical forests to exploring monasteries, temples, lakes, and rivers. In addition to these adventures, you'll have the chance to engage in village tasks like milking cows, gathering firewood, chopping fodder, cooking regional dishes, cultivating fields, and harvesting cardamom. Interacting with the locals and volunteering at a nearby school also provide opportunities for meaningful cultural exchange.
