From Kanchenjunga dawns to prayer-flag passes, Sikkim is a photographer's dream. Here's how to plan it well.
The essentials
For photography, shoot Kanchenjunga at first light from Pelling, the zig-zag Silk Route at sunrise, Tsomgo Lake reflections and the vast Gurudongmar plateau.
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).
