Third-Day,

Your destination will be Zuluk. Zuluk has an official, ”Dzuluk” and many unofficial spellings such as Jhuluk, and Jaluk. This beautiful heaven of Himalaya is in Pangkhola Wild-life Sanctuary.

The breathtaking journey features one-of-a-kind tourist attractions, especially Aritar, an eastern Sikkimese hamlet where a gurgling river with greenish-blue water awaits. Experience the majestic majesty of Mount Kanchenjunga in Aritar. There are many well-accommodated homestays in Aritar full of alluring activities like trekking, and sightseeing to Aritar Lake and Mulkharka Lake.
