Weather and Climate

Due to its steep altitude gain over a short distance, the climate of Sikkim changes swiftly throughout the region. The upper regions are extremely cold whereas the southern part experiences humid weather similar to its neighbor on the south.

Rainfall is heavy and uniform in the months from May to early October. July is the wettest month of the year. Sikkim records its maximum temperature usually in the months of July and August and minimum temperatures in the months of December and January. The state experiences five seasons – summer, monsoon, autumn, winter, and spring in varying degrees. Winters are freezing cold, especially in North Sikkim. Temperature, here, often drops below freezing point causing snowfall. Here, monsoons are trickier. Landslides are not uncommon during this time.

Best time to visit

The pleasant weather of the autumn season can be enjoyed from late September to early November before winter sets in. This is the best time to visit Sikkim. The weather is not yet cold enough to warrant heavy woolens but cool enough to need light shawls and jackets. But starting in November, the northern part of Sikkim starts getting restricted due to snowfall and road blockages. So, if you have places like Lachen and Lachung in your travel itinerary, late spring and early summer may be the best option for travel.

In the months from March to May, the weather remains pleasant enough. Roads to North Sikkim and also popular tourist attractions like Tsongmo Lake, and Baba Mandir open in March, sometimes early April depending on the amount of snowfall. And if you are a nature lover and would like to see the Rhododendrons in full bloom, March to May is the best time.

History of the State

The history of Sikkim goes back to the time when the Lepchas were the original inhabitants of this state. Sikkim has a special political past in which several important events have taken place related to the tribal rulers, British power, and the joining of this state in India. When the British arrived in India, the dynasty of Sikkim formed an alliance to fight against Nepalese and Bhutanese, who was becoming a threat to Sikkim. After India gained independence in 1947, Sikkim became a protected state under India, and India took responsibility for its defense, foreign relations, and strategic connectivity. However, over time, the people of Sikkim wanted more political freedom through democracy, then the first five elections were held in 1975.

People of all communities in Sikkim live in mutual love and goodwill. Sikkim has people belonging to different religions and is the state of communal harmony and most peaceful in the Indian Union.

Sikkim is the second smallest state in India and is geographically located at 27.33 degrees north and 88.62 degrees east. The Himalayan Range surrounds Sikkim from eastern, western, and northern borders. It borders West Bengal in the south, Tibet in the north and northeast, Nepal in the west, and Bhutan in the east.

Kanchenjunga, which is considered the defense goddess of Sikkim, showcases its natural beauty. Sikkim is one of the 18 major regions of the world full of biodiversity. The Sikkim Himalayas are rich in biodiversity, where 5000 species of angiosperms are found. Sikkim has 144 species of mammals, 450 to 500 species of orchids, 40 species of oaks, 36 species of rhododendrons, 4000 species of flowering plants, 500 to 600 species of birds, more than 400 species of butterflies and insects as well as many species of reptiles are also found here. The rare blue sheep, Tibetan mastiff, and red panda are also found here. There are only four districts in the second smallest state of the country, which includes East Sikkim, West Sikkim, North Sikkim, and South Sikkim.

Different climatic conditions of Sikkim

The north part of the state has a tundra type of climate, while the southern part has subtropical seasonal conditions. Due to the tundra type climate, the northern part of the state is covered with snow for about four months of the year, and the night temperature goes up to zero degrees. The weather of Sikkim is mainly of five types, which include Summer, Winter, Spring, Autumn, and Monsoon.

Sikkim has a population of 6.19 lakhs, with a total literacy rate of 81.42%. Out of which the males and female literacy rate of the state is 86.55% and 75.61%, respectively. There are only two religions widespread in Sikkim, Hinduism and Buddhism. Though there is also a small Christian community which was of Lepcha origin at first, later converted to religion by the colonial British. There are even fewer Muslims than them. In spite of having many religions and sects in different proportions, there has never been tension or communal riots in the state.

Economy and Infrastructure

The economy of Sikkim rests exclusively on tourism, farming, some industries, and horticulture. Due to its rich natural beauty, attractive weather, and rich cultural heritage, tourism has flourished in this part of the country and has become the backbone of Sikkim's economy.

Despite most of the area of ​​Sikkim being covered by mountains, farming is possible to a large extent. Sikkim is particularly rich in tea and cardamom, besides other crops include rice, maize, potato, wheat, orange, and ginger.

Government in Sikkim

The government of Sikkim adopted the structure of other states of India in 1975 after being separated from its dynastic roots. There is a legislative body with many ministers headed by the Chief Minister. In the state legislative assembly, 32 members are elected through assembly elections in 32 assembly constituencies spread over four districts. One of these seats is reserved for a Buddhist representative according to the tradition of kings. The Chief Minister of Sikkim is Prem Singh Tamang serving since 2019.

Sikkim lags behind other states in India in terms of education due to the mountains and lack of facilities. There are around 1150 schools which are providing primary and secondary education to children. More than half of these are run with the help of the government and the rest by private institutions. Some schools belong to the Central Board. There are about 15 colleges in the state that impart higher education to aspiring students. There are other private universities like the Sikkim Manipal University of Gangtok, which offer degrees in engineering, management, and medicine. Sikkim Central University is also located in Gangtok.

Society and Culture

The cultural heritage of Sikkim is vibrant and prosperous due to the mixed tradition of Lepchas, Hinduism, and Buddhism. Apart from this, the state of Sikkim mainly consists of people from the Bhotia, Lepcha, and Nepali communities. Since the people of Sikkim follow Buddhism, their festivals are less grand and plain but colorful. Buddhist festivals such as Drupka Teshi, Saga Dawa, Lusong, Pang Lhabsol, and Dasen are widely celebrated in the state. Folk songs and dances are ubiquitous in such ceremonies. The masked dance performed by the Lamas in the courtyard of the monastery in Sikkim is the most colorful dance in North-East India, which shows the true essence of the culture of the place.

People living in the state use a total of six languages ​​for communication. Nepali is the common language here due to a large number of Nepali people. This language belongs to the Indo-Aryan family. The second most spoken language is Bhutia, which has strong ties to the Tibeto-Burman family. Other languages, ​​which people speak fluently are Lepcha, Sherpa (spoken language), and Limbu (spoken language).

Practical tips for Sikkim

• The closest airport is Bagdogra in West Bengal and it can take up to 5 hours to reach from there to Gangtok or other interesting parts in the state. So keep one full day for travel no matter where you are coming from.
• However, the good news is that a new airport in Sikkim has opened this October 4, and this will certainly make it easier for travelers who plan to visit the city. It's located at about 33 km from Gangtok so travel to Gangtok will come down from 5 hours to just one.
• The roads in Sikkim are incredibly bad, and during monsoon landslides are a daily occurrence. Keep that in mind while planning anything - you might have to make adjustments in plans based on Mother Nature.
• Having a cab with you for all the days that you spend there is a good idea. Driving on the roads can be very tricky and self-drive only if you are quite experienced in such places. Did I mention before that roads can be pretty bad - at times they aren’t even there and you still need to drive!
• Food is not a problem at all, even if you are a vegetarian (I am one). If you are non-vegetarian, apparently its a heaven!
• Most people think Sikkim is a Buddhist state, but in reality it isn’t. The state is overwhelmingly Hindu though Buddhism is an integral part of its culture. People from both faiths co-exist and often also intermarry - for instance my driver, Nima, was Buddhist but his girl friend was a Hindu and none of the families had a problem with that at all. Nice, right? :)
• It’s also incredibly safe here as well. My driver told me that unlike rest of India, it’s very safe for women too. However, venturing out alone on foot in the night isn’t recommended. Go with a local.

One week travel itinerary for Sikkim!

Day 1: reach gangtok and relax, day 2: nathu la and gangtok, day 3: gangtok to pelling, day 4: explorations around pelling, day 5: pelling to darjeeling, day 6: darjeeling and around, day 7: darjeeling to home, how can you travel in sikkim like me.

Finally this is up. I hope Sikkim will be great when I visit it this winter. How much does booking a cab for 6 days in Sikkim cost? Can I borrow Anand for those few days :p Thank lot for writing on this.

Entry Permits Required to Visit Sikkim

Sikkim, due to its adjacency to the borders of neighboring countries like China, Bhutan and Nepal, the whole of Sikkim is under restricted area regime. And therefore foreign tourists are required to get first Restricted Area Permit (RAP) earlier known as Inner Line Permit (ILP) issued by Sikkim Tourism Officers in order to explore any part of Sikkim including the capital city Gangtok. The entry permit is issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India only on the strong basis of valid Indian Visa. However, Indian tourists do not require such kind of permit or permission.

It gets little more difficult to enter Sikkim for the tourists coming from Pakistan, China, Mynmar or Bangladesh; it becomes little harder to make entry in Sikkim.

How to Obtain Restricted Area Permit?

Restricted Area Permit or Inner Line Permit is applicable for foreigners only. Indian visitors do not require any such permit. It is given free of cost. Make sure that you are travelling with valid passport and visa for India. If you are carrying proper documents, it takes only 10-15 minutes to get the permit across the counter.

How to reach Sikkim? :

Sikkim; small but beautiful is one of the seven states in North East India. Engulfed in the lap of Himalayas, the state is bestowed with unexplored beauty because of its remote location and the hassles to reach there. The state has good transportation facilities in most of its region. When you are planning to visit Sikkim, here we list the best option available to reach Sikkim by road, air and rail.

Getting there by air: Catering to the large influx of tourists thanks to Tourism India, a small airport, known as Pakyong Airport, opened in Sikkim in October 2018. It mainly caters to domestic flights. Located around 29 km from the state capital Gangtok, it will take you 1 hour and 15 minutes to travel between the two places. However, the primary airport to reach the state remains Bagdogra Airport (IXB) located in Darjeeling in West Bengal. Several domestic flights from numerous cities like Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, etc, as well as some international ones (primarily from Bhutan), are available.

Getting there by road: Taxi is the preferred way to reach Sikkim from Bagdogra airport. Gangtok is 125 km from the airport which will take 4.5 hours by roads. There are options for pre-paid taxi counters at Bagdogra airport or you could also opt for an online shared taxi. Apart from the taxi, another option for people is the daily Helicopter service that takes only 35 minutes to ferry you from Bagdogra airport to Burtuk Helipad in Gangtok.

Getting there by rail:: If you wish to reach Sikkim by train, the nearest railway station is New Jalpaiguri (NJP) in West Bengal which is just 18 km east of Bagdogra. NJP is well connected to various parts of the country through trains. Both pre-paid and shared taxis are available from New Jalpaiguri to reach Sikkim.

High ON Himalayas

One source for all your Himalayan Inspiration

SIKKIM – A one-stop Travel Guide

Bordered by Bhutan , China’s Tibet Autonomous region and Nepal , Sikkim is that state in India which is special and unique from every perspective – geographical location, climate, diversity, culture and the list goes on. From frozen lakes in the north to vistas of tea gardens in the south, meandering roads in the east to beautiful shades of rhododendrons in the west, this tiny state has diverse landscapes and a myriad of experiences to offer.

Be it a backpacking trip, a vacation with family or a leisurely escape, Sikkim fits well into everyone’s idea of travel and unfolds many surprises during the course of one’s journey.

Having visited Sikkim multiple times, I have received unimaginable hospitality from my hosts and made great friends. It has been a place where I’ve listened to stories about heritage and culture from my hosts, where I’ve found myself exchanging travel stories with fellow travelers in a hostel dorm and where I have learnt the value of time.  

In this blog, I have attempted to combine all of these experiences to put out a well crafted source of information to help you plan your trip to Sikkim without any hassle.

Interesting facts about Sikkim

If you’re still not convinced on why Sikkim should be in your bucket list, here are few facts that will give you an idea why Sikkim is indeed special.

• Sikkim happens to be I ndia’s first fully organic state .
• World’s third highest mountain peak, Kanchendzonga , is located in Sikkim.
• There are about 227 high altitude lakes in this state.
• Kanchendzonga National Park , comprising of glaciers, lakes, waterfalls, forests and a rich flora and fauna has been declared as India’s first Mixed World Heritage Site by UNESCO .
• The state houses over 200 vibrant monasteries .
• Singshore Bridge, Asia’s second highest suspension bridge is situated in Sikkim.
• Red Panda , the state animal of Sikkim which is an endangered species can be spotted in their natural habitat here. Additionally, Sikkim hosts a winter carnival every year with the name “Red Panda Festival.”

How to reach Sikkim

Bagdogra Airport and New Jalpaiguri are the nearest airport and railway stations to Sikkim . Once you reach any of these two places, you’d probably want to get to Gangtok, the capital of Sikkim to continue your journey further.

To reach Gangtok , you could either book a private vehicle or hop onto a shared vehicle . The wisest way to make the journey a comfortable one without spending much is to book two seats on a shared vehicle. Works best for budget travelers. You could also check out NE Taxi or Wizzride , which offers luxury vehicles on a shared basis.

Remember to keep your government IDs with you all the time. There’s a possibility that you might have to show it at the check post in the border of Sikkim.

How to travel within Sikkim

Trying to figure out how to travel from one place to another within Sikkim can take some time. I’ve attempted to break down all possible modes of transport that you can avail to travel within the state.

• For backpackers and budget travelers, shared sumos are the best means of conveyance to travel within various places in Sikkim. Initially it might appear a bit confusing but all you need to do is have a rough idea of the route or simply ask a local, they’d be more than happy to help. When you’re in Gangtok, remember the names of a few points like Deorali taxi stand and Rumtek taxi stand from where you can get tickets for other places like Ravangla, Pelling, Namchi, Geyzing, Jorethang and Singtam. Travelling in any of these routes would cost you between INR 100-300 , depending on the distance. A wise idea is to book two seats if you’d want to travel more comfortably without making a hole in your pocket by booking an entire cab. 
• More comfortable way to travel to various places within Sikkim is by booking a private vehicle. You can book them directly through your hotel, travel agents or can look up NE Taxi or Wizzride  online which offer reserved vehicles and sightseeing packages.
• To get from one place to another within Gangtok, the easiest way is to grab a local cab . They usually ply on shared basis but might insist you to reserve it. In any case, there is no possibility of you being cheated for money in Sikkim so you can rely on the rates the cabs ask from you.
• You can even hire bicycles if mountain biking interests you. Hub Outdoor is one such place from where you could get one for yourself.
• The most exciting one comes at the end. Sikkim is famous among bikers and road trip lovers for its versatile and adventurous roads. Pick up any random adrenaline junkie and traversing through the mountains on a RE would be their ultimate dream.  Biker’s Hub is one of the best places which can transform that dream into reality, on the roads of Sikkim. Calvin (Contact No: +91 9647237847), from Bikers Hub is an extremely calm, professional and knowledgeable person who can help you plan and execute your bike trip with his recommendations on routes and other details. The bikes are in top notch condition, necessary permits are made without any hassle and they even have in-house mechanics to deal with any glitch. You can trust them with eyes closed and set out on an epic road trip.

Best time to visit Sikkim

The months when the weather is pleasant in Sikkim are October to November and March to May . During this time, the roads to North Sikkim, Nathu La Pass are open and there is no risk of roads getting blocked due to heavy snowfall. The state receives heavy rainfall between June to September and landslides are a common phenomena during this period. Thus, traveling should be strictly avoided over these months. From mid-December to end of February, possibilities of roads being open for North and parts of East Sikkim are usually low. However, other parts of Sikkim are open and plans can be made accordingly.

Popular Tourist Hubs in Sikkim

Gangtok is the hub from where you may proceed to your next destination in Sikkim. It’s a well developed and a vibrant town with many interesting places to visit on a day tour. There are a plenty of chic cafes and restaurants serving authentic Nepali cuisines to relish on. Unlike many other towns in the hills, Gangtok is well lit till about 10pm and some of the pubs are open even beyond that time.

You may not have to allot too many days to explore Gangtok specifically but it can be a rest stop between covering North Sikkim and other parts. You may choose to add in a couple of extra days for Gangtok at the end of your trip so that you can relax a bit, indulge in some shopping and get your hands on souvenirs to take back home.

Along with vibe, the food is amazing too in both of these places. You should definitely not miss visiting any one of these two places. You could even try your luck at the casinos in Gangtok. Make sure you read the rules before you enter one.

Things to do in Gangtok

• Visiting Tsongmo lake (also known as Changu lake), Baba Mandir and Nathu la pass on a day tour from Gangtok is a must. You can book one of these trips from any local travel company that’s lined up near MG Marg or pre-book just to avoid last minute hassle. Your hotel or homestays would also be able to guide you on this. A shared trip would cost you between INR 800-1200 per person , depending on the season. Costs for private tours would go higher.
• Stroll at MG Marg in the evening, shop and explore the wonderful eateries.

If you’re lucky, you might find yourself in the middle of an open mic session or a live gig that this bookstore and cafe frequently hosts.

An important hub in the map of South Sikkim , Ravangla, is a fine blend of tranquility and spirituality. It is located 80 kms away from Gangtok and takes about 3 hours to reach . In Ravangla, you will often find yourself playing hide and seek between clouds. Being a comparatively slower town, it is a lovely place to spend a day or two and wake up to the gorgeous views of Himalayan peaks of Mt. Kanchendzonga, Mt. Sinialchu, Mt. Kabru and Mt. Narsing. 

Where to Stay in Ravangla

• Homestays: Seven Mirror Lake Homestay
• Hotels:  The Barfung Retreat | The Lindsay Everland | Vamoosetrail Rabongla

Where to Eat in Ravangla

Apart from the usual momos, you must try a bowl of thukpa, she-phaley and meat balls . You can try out these dishes at any local eatery in Ravangla to get an experience of the local food scene. Do not miss out Tathagata Kitchen near Buddha Park, a Sikkimese restaurant offering best tastes from the land.

Things to do in Ravangla 

• Buddha Park , also known as Tathagata Tsal situated within Rabong Gompa is the most popular tourist spot in Ravangla. The 130 ft high statue of Gautam Buddha, set against the backdrop of Himalayan ranges is a marvelous sight. The entire area is very well maintained and has ample space for visitors to sit and relax. There are souvenir shops and cafeterias where you could give a peek too. The park is open from 9 am to 5pm.
• Ravangla is the starting point of Maenam Hill Trek , which can be covered in a day. A steep trail through the Maenam Wildlife Sanctuary would lead you to the highest point of the trek, at an altitude of 10,300 ft. You could expect to spot Red Panda, Himalayan Black Bear and many species of deer on the trail. The view from the top is unimaginable, with an array of Himalayan ranges right before you. The valley of Kalimpong and Darjeeling are also visible on a clear day. If you intend to spend a night, you must carry all your camping gears and have a guide with you as there is no provision of hiring tents or camping gears in Ravangla.
• You could visit Doling Monastery and Seven Mirror lake , a fascinating spot which is not too famous among travelers yet, mostly because of the connectivity. You’d have to hire a cab to reach this place and get back to Ravangla as it is situated in a secluded area. If you have a bike with you, it would be quite convenient to visit this place.

Pelling is a spectacular destination in West Sikkim and a box full of treasure with a bundle of incredible places to visit. Apart from its enticing natural beauty, there are places of historical significance, spiritual relevance and architectural marvels. Pelling is on the verge of developing quite fast, with many luxury hotels being functional now. To cover Pelling and its surrounding places of interest, you should set aside at least three days. But in case you’re on a short trip, there are many companies that offer day long sightseeing packages combining the best of these places.

Where to Stay in Pelling

• Hostels:  Mochilero Ostello
• Homestays:  Khi Ga Thang | Laliguras Village Homestay
• Budget Hotels:  Delight The Touristo | Hotel Snow View
• Luxury Hotels:  The Aryan Regency | The Elgin Mount Pandim

Where to Eat in Pelling

• Melting Pot Restobar for Sikkimese and Chinese dishes; they have a great view from the seating area in the balcony.
• Taatopani Resto Bar for Sikkimese and Nepali cuisines.
• Lotus Bakery for baked items and tea.
• Hotel Hishella Bar and Restaurant , a multicuisine restaurant a few kms outside Pelling, is a good option for a stopover meal on the way out.

Things to do in Pelling 

• Visit the first skywalk of India in Pelling . Built adjacent to Sanga Choeling Monastery, this skywalk is the first of its kind. The pathway is made of glass and you’d be able to have a look down below while walking up to the 137 ft high statue of Chenrezig . It’s a thrilling experience that you should not miss at any cost.

• Make a visit to the 300 year old Pemayangtse Monastery . Built in the 17 th century, this monastery is home to a large collection of Buddhist art, murals and scriptures.

• Rabdentse Ruins set within chestnut groves and deciduous forests used to be the palace of Sikkimese Kings till 19th century. A walk through these ruins would be a subtle encounter with the history of Sikkim hills.
• A drive for an hour and half would reach you to Kecheopalri lake , considered holy among both Buddhists and Hindus. It is commonly known as a wish fulfilling lake. The waters are crystal clear and it is said that the birds pick up even a piece of leaf that falls on the waters. Visit this holy lake and spend half a day to witness time slow down before you as you watch the swirling prayer flags beside the lake.

• 33 kms away from Pelling is Singshore bridge, Asia’s second highest suspension bridge . Walk down this bridge 240m long bridge and look at the breathless view around you.
• You could also visit the several hot springs around Pelling , known for their medicinal properties.
• Make a quick stop at Bermiok Bazaar or Rural Artisan Marketing Centre to pick up some souvenirs.

Road trips in Sikkim

Even though you’re mostly on the roads while you’re visiting Sikkim, there are two specific routes that deserve a separate mention as a road trip, as driving these routes have been some of the Most Memorable Experiences in the Himalayas ,  for some travellers.

The Old Silk Route in East Sikkim

Previously a trade route between India and Tibet, the Old Silk Route is not yet explored at great lengths. Zuluk used to be the transit point in this route and is now a place for stopover while covering this stretch. There are many places from where one can start the journey.

An ideal start could be from Gangtok and head over to Tsongmo Lake, explore the Nathu la pass, cross the entire stretch of Zuluk and return to Gangtok circling the entire route.

The 32 hairpin bends makes it an ideal destination for unforgettable road trip. Do not miss to catch the sunrise from Lungthung Shiva sunrise point , deviate from the main road for a while to have a look at Heart lake , and take amazing photographs at Gnathang valley.

North Sikkim

It would not be an exaggeration if I say that a road trip to North Sikkim is a celestial experience. The surreal skies, lustrous snow, and bewitching high altitude lakes make North Sikkim look like a slice of heaven on earth.

The two hamlets Lachen and Lachung are the base in this trip where you’d be required to book your stay. From these two villages, you can head over to the places of higher altitude during the day.

The mesmerizing view of Gurudongmar Lake , situated at an altitude of 17,800 ft is the main highlight of a road trip to North Sikkim. Yumthang valley, Katao, Zero point add up to give you a once in a lifetime experience. You could also add Lhasar valley and Dzongu in your itinerary, two offbeat destinations in North Sikkim that do not attract the regular crowd.

7-Day itinerary for Sikkim

Day 1: Arrive at Bagdogra/New Jalpaiguri and transfer to Gangtok . Spend the evening strolling in MG Marg.

Day 2: Leave for Lachen . Reach Lachen by late afternoon and explore the village on foot; head to Lachen monastery, enjoy bonfire after dinner.

Day 3: The drive for Gurudongmar Lake starts at 4am. Visit the spectacular high altitude lake and return to Lachen by 10am. Spend some leisure time and transfer to Lachung post lunch. Spend the night in Lachung.

Day 4:  Explore Yumthang Valley and Zero point . Transfer to Gangtok post lunch.

Day 5: Leave for Ravangla by 7am through the Temi Tea Estate route. Stop by the beautiful landscapes of Temi on the way. Visit Buddha Park and head to Pelling in the evening.

Day 6: Explore Pelling skywalk , Pemayangtse Monastery, Rabdentse Ruins, Kecheopalri Lake on a day tour. Stayover in Pelling.

Day 7: Leave for Bagdogra/New Jalpaiguri by 7am or earlier . You must book an evening flight/train or spend the night in Siliguri to take a flight/train the next morning, to be on the safer side.

Sikkim FAQs – Answered

Q – Do I need a permit to enter Sikkim?

Ans. An Indian National does not need any permit to enter Sikkim.

However, foreign nationals are required to have an Inner Line Permit to enter Sikkim that can be obtained from any Sikkim Tourism Office at New Delhi, Kolkata, District Magistrates Office of Darjeeling, Siliguri and Rangpo.

Q – What kinds of permits are required for Protected Areas?

Ans. For protected areas like Tsongmo lake, Nathu la Pass and North Sikkim , a Protected Area Permit is required for both Indian and Foreign nationals which is issued by the Sikkim Tourism Department and can be obtained through travel companies and tour operators.

In North Sikkim, areas beyond Singhik like Gurudongmar Lake, Thangu is a Restricted Area where only Indian Nationals are allowed to enter.

Q – Do I need any permit for visiting West and South Sikkim?

Ans. No, there is no permit required to visit West and South Sikkim for Indians.

The Inner Line Permit, issued while entering Sikkim is sufficient for Foreign Nationals.

Q – Can I visit North Sikkim without booking a package through a travel company?

Ans. Technically, no. You can’t visit North Sikkim without booking a stay-food-vehicle inclusive package from a registered tour agent because permits are not issued to individuals without making a booking.

However, if you’re going to North Sikkim on a bike, the bike rentals would arrange the permits for you and you’d have the option to book your accommodation yourself.

Things to remember 

• It is advisable to carry enough cash as you might not find ATMs everywhere and there might be no provision of making e payments.
• Have a rough idea of the map and carry offline maps or prints, just to avoid any hassle.
• Carry extra layers of warm clothes. It might get chillier than you’d expect.
• Carry backup batteries for your camera if traveling to remote places. There might be no provision for charging your camera.
• For once, let Google rest and approach the locals with your queries. They’d give you better recommendations.
•  Do not play loud music while traveling to remote areas. Respect the communities and the environment they’re used to be in.
• Do not miss out on having some hot maggi in local huts. Snow and maggi is the best travel combination.
• It’s advisable to carry your own steel or glass bottles and refill them. Sikkim is highly strict on the usage and disposal of plastic.
• Please do not litter any place you go to and stop others politely if they do.
• Read more about the regulations at  Official website of Sikkim Tourism .

Sikkim, best known for its hospitality will never fail you in any aspect. On your visit to Sikkim, you will not only collect photographs but stories. The best way to experience Sikkim is to go local, strike a conversation with fellow passengers in the vehicle, ask more about the place to your hosts.

September 6, 2009.

• Sikkim declared 2010 ‘The year of Tourism’

The state has already set a well laid project to bring Sikkim to the world tourism map . According to the blueprints prepared by the Sikkim Tourism board, the year 2010 will be a landmark year in the state’s tourism history. The objective of 2010 promotion is to reinforce the image of Sikkim as one of the best Tourist destination in the entire country. The strategy include promoting village tourism in Sikkim , host tourism related activities throughout 2010 etc. The Tourism board haven’t finalized with the slogan for s big leap. Once they finalize the slogan will be used as a brand name for Sikkim tourism. Today the state has all the potential to bloom in this field; it has attractive destinations, accessibility, accommodation facilities etc. The only thing missing was the push from the Government’s side and now the circle is complete.

The state has a long way to go, and like the ancient Chinese proverb says “The journey of a thousand miles, starts but with a single step” we can wish all the best for all the efforts.
