The best time to visit Sikkim and Darjeeling is from March to June (spring and early summer) and from September to November (autumn). These periods offer clear skies, pleasant weather, and excellent mountain views. Monsoon (July-August) brings heavy rains, while winter (December-February) offers snow views but some areas may be inaccessible. April-May is ideal for rhododendron blooms, while October-November offers clear Kanchenjunga views.
Yes, Indian nationals require an Inner Line Permit (ILP) for Sikkim, which we arrange for you. For visiting Tsomgo Lake and Nathula Pass, additional Protected Area Permits (PAP) are required. Foreign nationals need a Restricted Area Permit (RAP). We handle all permit formalities - you just need to provide passport-sized photographs and valid ID proof. Permits are checked at various points, so always carry them with you.
We provide comfortable 3-star category hotels in Gangtok, Darjeeling, and Pelling with modern amenities. All rooms have attached bathrooms, hot water, and heating (in winter). In remote areas like Lachen/Lachung, accommodation is in basic but clean hotels with essential facilities. We can upgrade to 4-star or heritage properties upon request for an additional cost. Most hotels offer beautiful mountain views.
Gangtok (5,410 ft) and Darjeeling (6,710 ft) are at moderate altitudes where altitude sickness is rare. However, Tsomgo Lake (12,400 ft) and Nathula Pass (14,140 ft) are at higher altitudes. We recommend taking it easy, staying hydrated, and avoiding alcohol. Those with heart conditions or respiratory problems should consult a doctor. We include acclimatization time in our itineraries and our guides are trained to handle altitude-related issues.
Pack layered clothing as temperatures vary. Include thermal wear, woolens, jacket, raincoat, comfortable walking shoes, sunglasses, sunscreen, hat, and umbrella. For winter (Dec-Feb), carry heavy woolens. Don't forget medications, camera, power bank, and valid ID proofs. Modest clothing is recommended for monastery visits. A small backpack for daily excursions is useful.
Roads in Sikkim and Darjeeling are mountainous with winding curves. While main highways are generally good, some interior roads can be bumpy. Travel times may be longer than distances suggest due to terrain. We use experienced local drivers and well-maintained vehicles suitable for mountain roads. During monsoon, occasional landslides may cause delays. We recommend carrying motion sickness medication if prone to travel sickness.

Sikkim and Darjeeling together offer one of India's most diverse and beautiful travel experiences. Nestled in the Eastern Himalayas, this region combines stunning natural beauty, rich cultural heritage, spiritual depth, and colonial history in a unique blend that captivates every traveler.
Sikkim, India's second smallest state, packs incredible diversity. From the vibrant capital Gangtok to the remote villages of North Sikkim, the state offers breathtaking landscapes, ancient monasteries, and warm hospitality. Home to Kanchenjunga (8,586m), the world's third highest peak, Sikkim's natural beauty ranges from alpine meadows and glacial lakes to dense forests and raging rivers. The state's unique cultural mix of Nepali, Bhutia, and Lepcha communities creates a rich tapestry of traditions, festivals, and cuisine.
Darjeeling, with its colonial-era charm and world-famous tea, offers a different but equally captivating experience. The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway (Toy Train), a UNESCO World Heritage Site, chugs through picturesque landscapes. Tea estates spread across rolling hills produce the "champagne of teas." Colonial architecture, Buddhist monasteries, and vibrant markets add to Darjeeling's unique character. The view of Kanchenjunga at sunrise from Tiger Hill is one of India's most spectacular natural displays.
The region is a spiritual haven with numerous monasteries representing different Buddhist traditions. Rumtek Monastery in Gangtok is the seat of the Karmapa Lama, while Pemayangtse in Pelling is one of Sikkim's oldest and most important monasteries. Darjeeling's Peace Pagoda promotes global harmony, and the Mahakal Temple represents Hindu spirituality. These spiritual sites offer peace, architectural beauty, and cultural insights.
For adventure enthusiasts, the region offers trekking routes like the Goecha La trek with close-up Kanchenjunga views. River rafting in the Teesta, paragliding in Gangtok, and mountain biking are popular activities. The region's biodiversity is protected in several sanctuaries and national parks, including Khangchendzonga National Park (a UNESCO site) which hosts rare species like the red panda and snow leopard.
Experience diverse cultures through festivals like Losar (Tibetan New Year), Saga Dawa, and Dasain. Local cuisine offers unique flavors - from momos and thukpa to traditional Sikkimese dishes and Darjeeling's famous tea. Handicrafts like thangka paintings, woolen carpets, and bamboo products make for meaningful souvenirs.
Sikkim is India's first organic state and a leader in sustainable tourism. Many hotels and tour operators follow eco-friendly practices. Community-based tourism initiatives allow visitors to experience local life while supporting conservation and community development.
