Where you'll stay
Hotels that suit the mountain, not just the brochure
Every itinerary names the hotel for each night. Gangtok and Pelling have real choice; North Sikkim is simpler, and we tell you so.
Good 3-star hotels
Comfort
- Central Gangtok hotels a short walk from MG Marg
- Kanchenjunga-facing rooms in Pelling
- The best available lodges in Lachung and Lachen
Our standard for most Sikkim trips
Resorts with the view
Premium
- Spa resorts and heritage hotels in Gangtok
- Mountain-view suites in Pelling
- Upgraded rooms in North Sikkim where they exist
Mayfair Spa Resort and The Elgin Nor-Khill in Gangtok, The Elgin Mount Pandim in Pelling
Homestays on the high roads

- 3
Travel with a Sikkim driver
A private SUV from Bagdogra or NJP and back, daylight driving, and our team on WhatsApp if the mountain changes the plan.
When to go
The Sikkim year
March – May
BestSpring: rhododendrons in Yumthang (April–May), pleasant days of 15–22°C in Gangtok and snow still at Zero Point and Nathu La. The busiest season, so book early.
October – December
BestThe clearest skies of the year and the best Kanchenjunga views. Cold at altitude by December, with the first snow at Tsomgo and Nathu La.
January – February
GoodSnow season. Gangtok and Pelling are crisp and quiet; North Sikkim and Nathu La can close after heavy snowfall, so we keep a spare day.
June – September
AvoidMonsoon. Landslides close roads, North Sikkim permits are often suspended and the mountains hide behind cloud. Gangtok alone is possible at low rates.

Before you go
Permits, getting there and what to know
Permits for the high places
Indian travellers don't need a permit to enter Sikkim, but Tsomgo Lake, Nathu La, North Sikkim (Lachung, Lachen, Yumthang, Gurudongmar) and the Old Silk Route each need a protected-area permit. We file them through a registered agent with a photo ID and two passport photos per person. Nathu La opens to Indian visitors only, on Wednesday to Sunday. Foreign nationals need a Restricted Area Permit to enter Sikkim and cannot visit Nathu La or Gurudongmar.
Getting there
- By air
- Fly into Bagdogra (IXB), the nearest well-connected airport, with direct flights from Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai and Bengaluru. Gangtok is 4–5 hours by road. Pakyong airport near Gangtok has very few flights.
- By train
- New Jalpaiguri (NJP) is the nearest major station, about 4–5 hours from Gangtok. Overnight trains run from Kolkata, and direct trains from Delhi and Guwahati.
- From Darjeeling
- Gangtok is about 4 hours from Darjeeling, so the two pair naturally into one trip. See our Darjeeling tour packages.
Know before you go
- Gurudongmar and Nathu La are above 14,000 ft. Not advised for infants, or for anyone with heart or breathing conditions; spend a night in Gangtok before going high.
- North Sikkim roads close after landslides. We confirm the road and permit status the day before and keep a back-up plan.
- Carry original photo ID and two passport photos per person; permits are checked at several posts.
- Sikkim is strict about plastic. Carry a refillable bottle; packaged water is restricted in some areas.
- Mobile signal is weak beyond Gangtok. Only BSNL and Airtel work reliably in North Sikkim.
- Nights are cold at Lachung and Lachen all year. Pack a down jacket even in May.
Questions
Sikkim travel questions
Anything else, ask us on WhatsApp. A person answers, usually within minutes.
Is Sikkim good for a honeymoon?
Yes. Sikkim is calm, safe and scenic, with snow at Tsomgo Lake and Zero Point for much of the year, monasteries, and Kanchenjunga views from Pelling. It suits couples who enjoy mountains more than beaches.
How many days are enough for a Sikkim honeymoon?
Six to seven days covers Gangtok, Tsomgo Lake, a night in Lachung for Yumthang Valley, and Pelling. With five days, choose either North Sikkim or Pelling.
Which month is best for a honeymoon in Sikkim?
March to May for rhododendrons and clear days, October to mid-December for the sharpest mountain views. December to February brings snow at higher altitudes; some North Sikkim roads can close after heavy snowfall.
Do I need a permit for Sikkim?
Indian nationals can enter Sikkim freely, but Tsomgo Lake, Nathu La, North Sikkim and the Old Silk Route need protected-area permits, which we arrange with your photo ID and passport photos. Foreign nationals need a Restricted Area Permit and cannot visit Nathu La or Gurudongmar.
Which vehicle do you use in Sikkim?
Sikkim's taxi rules mean Sikkim-registered vehicles are used for sightseeing inside the state, usually an Innova, Xylo or Scorpio. For North Sikkim, an SUV is essential. For larger groups we use Tempo Travellers where the road allows.
Your honeymoon, planned around you
Tell us your dates. We'll find the room that faces Kanchenjunga.

Favourite stops for couples
Tsomgo (Changu) Lake
Tsomgo Lake, also called Changu Lake, is a glacial lake at about 12,300 ft, 38 km from Gangtok. It's the easiest place near Gangtok to see snow, on a permit filed the day before.
Yumthang Valley
Yumthang, the 'valley of flowers', is a meadow at about 11,800 ft above Lachung, full of rhododendrons in spring and snow in winter, with Zero Point higher up.
Pelling Skywalk and Chenrezig Statue
Pelling's glass skywalk leads to a 137-ft statue of Chenrezig on the ridge above town, with Kanchenjunga behind it. Here are the timings, fee, best light and what else is on the ridge.
MG Marg, Gangtok
MG Marg is Gangtok's car-free main street, a litter- and spit-free promenade lined with cafés, shops and benches. Here is what to do there, the rules, and where to eat and shop.
Rumtek Monastery
Rumtek is Sikkim's largest monastery, the seat of the Karmapa in exile, rebuilt in the 1960s in the style of Tsurphu in Tibet. It's about an hour from Gangtok.
Gurudongmar Lake
Gurudongmar is one of the world's highest lakes, at about 17,800 ft in North Sikkim, sacred to Buddhists and Sikhs. It's reached at dawn from Lachen, by Indian nationals only.
