Timing makes or breaks a trip to Gangtok. Here's a clear, season-by-season breakdown to help you and your clients choose the right window.
Season by season
Spring (March–May) brings clear skies and blooms; autumn (October–December) offers the sharpest Kanchenjunga views; winter (December–February) is cold and can bring snow on the higher excursions.
Planning note
Peak season is March–May and October–December. Monsoon (June–September) is green but landslide-prone on the higher roads.
- Gateway: Bagdogra Airport (about 4–5 hours by road to Gangtok)
- Indian nationals need inner-line permits for protected areas such as Tsomgo, Nathula and North Sikkim, which we arrange.
- We confirm road and weather status before every departure
