Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to the most common questions about this package.

What is the best time to visit Sikkim?
The best time to visit Sikkim is from March to June and September to December. During spring and summer (March–June), the valleys are filled with blooming rhododendrons, orchids, and lush greenery. Autumn and early winter (September–December) bring crystal-clear skies, snow-capped peaks, and pleasant weather, making it ideal for sightseeing, trekking, and photography. Monsoon months (July–August) should be avoided due to heavy rainfall, frequent landslides, and road closures.
Do I need a permit to visit Sikkim and its border areas?
Yes, visitors need certain permits to travel in Sikkim. Indian tourists require an Inner Line Permit (ILP), which is issued free of cost at entry points like Rangpo and Melli. For border-sensitive areas such as Nathu La Pass, Gurudongmar Lake, and Yumthang Valley, an additional Protected Area Permit (PAP) is required, which is issued through registered tour operators. Foreign nationals need a Restricted Area Permit (RAP) to enter Sikkim, and they cannot visit certain places like Nathu La.
How many days are enough to explore Sikkim?
A trip of 7 to 10 days is usually enough to cover the main attractions of Sikkim. A short 4–5 day trip can cover Gangtok, Tsomgo Lake, and Nathula Pass, but if you want to experience North Sikkim (Lachen, Lachung, Gurudongmar Lake, Yumthang Valley) and also visit Pelling or Namchi in South Sikkim, then a minimum of 8–10 days is recommended. Adventure travelers who want trekking and village stays may extend their trip to 12–15 days.
 
What are the must-visit places in Sikkim?

Sikkim is blessed with natural beauty and spiritual heritage. Some must-visit places include:

Gangtok – the capital city with MG Marg, monasteries, and cable car rides.

Tsomgo Lake & Baba Mandir – sacred glacial lake and temple near the Indo-China border.

Nathu La Pass – high-altitude mountain pass with Indo-China trade route.

Lachen & Gurudongmar Lake – one of the highest lakes in the world.

Lachung & Yumthang Valley – known as the Valley of Flowers.

Pelling – famous for Kanchenjunga views and Pemayangtse Monastery.

Namchi – home to Char Dham and Samdruptse statue.

How can I reach Sikkim?
The nearest airport to Sikkim is Bagdogra Airport (IXB) in West Bengal, about 124 km from Gangtok. From Bagdogra, one can hire a taxi or take a shared cab to reach Gangtok in 4–5 hours. Another option is the Pakyong Airport (PYG) near Gangtok, but it has limited flight operations. The nearest railway station is New Jalpaiguri (NJP), 120 km away, which is well connected to major Indian cities. Helicopter services from Bagdogra to Gangtok are also available for faster travel.
 
Is Sikkim safe for tourists?
Yes, Sikkim is considered one of the safest tourist destinations in India. The crime rate is extremely low, locals are very hospitable, and the state government actively supports tourism. Roads to higher altitudes may be risky during winters or monsoons due to snowfall and landslides, so it is advisable to travel with experienced drivers. Solo travelers, families, and even women travelers can safely explore Sikkim with basic precautions.
What is the local food of Sikkim that travelers must try?

Sikkim offers a unique blend of Nepalese, Tibetan, and Lepcha cuisines. Must-try dishes include:

Momos (dumplings) – steamed or fried with spicy chutney.

Thukpa – noodle soup with vegetables or meat.

Phagshapa – pork stew with radish and dry chilies.

Gundruk & Sinki – fermented leafy vegetables.

Chaang – a traditional millet beer.
Food in Sikkim is usually mild yet flavorful, and vegetarian options are easily available.

What are the adventure activities to do in Sikkim?

Sikkim is a paradise for adventure lovers. Popular activities include:

Trekking – Goecha La trek, Dzongri trek, and Kanchenjunga Base Camp trek.

River Rafting – Teesta and Rangit rivers offer thrilling rapids.

Paragliding – in Gangtok and Sikkim’s hills.

Mountain Biking – rugged terrains near Pelling and Gangtok.

Yak Ride – near Tsomgo Lake.

What is the culture and tradition of Sikkim like?
Sikkim has a rich cultural heritage influenced by Buddhist, Nepalese, and Lepcha traditions. The majority of the population follows Buddhism and Hinduism, and the state is home to many ancient monasteries like Rumtek, Pemayangtse, and Tashiding. Festivals such as Losar, Saga Dawa, Pang Lhabsol, and Dasain are celebrated with great enthusiasm. Traditional dances like Mask Dance and Maruni reflect the deep-rooted spirituality and folklore of the region.
What should I pack for a Sikkim trip?
Packing depends on the season and areas you plan to visit. For spring and summer (March–June), carry light woolens, jackets, sunglasses, and comfortable walking shoes. For autumn and winter (October–February), heavy woolens, gloves, and thermal wear are a must, especially if visiting high-altitude regions like Gurudongmar Lake or Nathu La. Always carry rain gear during monsoon and a basic medical kit for altitude sickness. If traveling to remote areas, keep cash as ATMs are not always available.
