Zig Zag Road (Bhool Bhulaiya)

Zig Zag Road (Bhool Bhulaiya)

Famous Silk Route climb of 30-plus hairpin bends rising above Zuluk village.

The Zig Zag Road of Zuluk, often nicknamed Bhool Bhulaiya, climbs the Old Silk Route in more than thirty hairpin bends stacked up the mountainside. Drivers pick their way slowly from the village toward Thambi and Lungthung, and the road itself becomes the spectacle when seen from higher viewpoints. It is the image most travelers associate with East Sikkim's Silk Route circuit. Weather, army checks and permit rules can slow progress, so leave buffer time on every climb.

  • How to Reach: Reached by hired jeep from Rongli or Zuluk on the East Sikkim Silk Route. The bends begin just above the village on the climb toward Thambi View Point.
