Timing makes or breaks a trip to North Sikkim (Lachung, Yumthang & Gurudongmar). Here's a clear, season-by-season breakdown to help you and your clients choose the right window.
Season by season
Mid-March to May is best for the Yumthang Valley of Flowers; October–November for clear high-altitude views; December–March for snow, though roads to Gurudongmar can close.
Planning note
North Sikkim is weather-dependent and permit-controlled; we confirm road status before every departure.
- 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
TripTrix Voyages runs Sikkim year-round with permits handled and hand-picked stays — agents can request net rates for any Sikkim itinerary.
