Snow in Sikkim: When to Go & What to Expect (2026)

Timing makes or breaks a trip to snow in Sikkim. Here's a clear, season-by-season breakdown to help you and your clients choose the right window.

Season by season

For snow, aim for December to March around Tsomgo Lake, Nathula and North Sikkim; heavy snow can occasionally close the highest roads, so flexibility helps.

Planning note

Snow at Tsomgo and North Sikkim depends on the weather each year; we plan buffer time and confirm access.

• 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
