Sikkim can be surprisingly affordable with the right timing and route planning. Here's how to plan it well.
The essentials
Travel in the shoulder seasons, group your permits and excursions, and choose homestays in North Sikkim to keep a Sikkim trip budget-friendly without cutting the highlights.
When to go & getting there
March to May for rhododendrons and clear skies, October to mid-December for the crispest Kanchenjunga views, and December to March for snow around Tsomgo and North Sikkim. Reach via 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 tailor the pace, stays and inclusions to your clients
- Net rates on request for the travel trade
