Nearest Airport
Uttarey sits in South-West Sikkim near the Singalila Range bordering Nepal, a remote village that serves as an alternative trekking base to the more crowded Dzongri route, offering access to rhododendron forest and high-altitude meadow terrain with considerably fewer trekkers sharing the trails. Its genuine remoteness has kept the area largely undeveloped, rewarding serious trekkers with quieter routes through comparable Himalayan scenery. Uttarey suits experienced trekkers seeking Singalila Range terrain without Dzongri's crowds — the village itself offers basic accommodation and serves primarily as a staging point for multi-day treks into the surrounding high-altitude forest and meadow.
