Yumthang Valley of Flowers Guide (2026)

The Yumthang Valley, reached from Lachung, bursts with rhododendrons from late March to May and offers hot springs and Zero Point snow higher up. It's a North Sikkim highlight best paired with Gurudongmar.

What we handle

TripTrix Voyages arranges transfers, stays and all documentation for Sikkim. Indian nationals need inner-line permits for protected areas such as Tsomgo, Nathula and North Sikkim, which we arrange.

  • Gateway: Bagdogra Airport (about 4–5 hours by road to Gangtok)
  • Best time: 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.
  • Permits, transport and stays fully managed

TripTrix Voyages runs Sikkim year-round with permits handled and hand-picked stays — agents can request net rates for any Sikkim itinerary.
