About
Sikkim travel guide
Sikkim sits between Nepal, Tibet and Bhutan, with Kangchenjunga — the world's third-highest mountain — on its northern border and visible from much of the state on a clear morning.
It divides into four districts that feel like different trips: Gangtok and the east for monasteries and high lakes, the north for high-altitude valleys, the west for Kangchenjunga views, and the south for quiet hills.
When to go
Best time to visit Sikkim
March to May brings rhododendron and orchid into flower with reliable mountain views. October and November give the clearest air of the year and the best Kangchenjunga visibility.
June to September is the monsoon, with heavy rain, landslides on the Gangtok road and views lost to cloud. December to February is cold and clear, with snow at Tsomgo and Nathula and road closures after heavy falls.

At 5,430 m in North Sikkim, one of the highest lakes in the world.
Yumthang Valley
The valley of flowers in North Sikkim, carpeted with rhododendron in spring.

FAQs
Sikkim questions, answered
The things people ask us most before booking a Sikkim trip.
What permits do we need?
Indian nationals need a permit for Tsomgo, Nathula and all of North Sikkim; foreign nationals need an Inner Line Permit for Sikkim itself and are not allowed at Nathula or Gurudongmar. We arrange what is possible for your nationality.
How high is Gurudongmar and is it safe?
5,430 m, which is high enough that altitude sickness is a real risk. The route involves an overnight at Lachen around 2,750 m first. Anyone with heart or respiratory conditions should not attempt it.
When will we see Kangchenjunga?
Clearest in October, November and again in March and April. Early morning is essential — cloud usually builds by mid-morning. Pelling and Tashi viewpoint in Gangtok are the reliable spots.
How do we get there?
Bagdogra is the nearest airport and New Jalpaiguri the nearest railhead, both around four to five hours from Gangtok. Pakyong airport near Gangtok operates limited flights that are often weather-affected.
