About

A mountain state of prayer flags and rhododendrons — Gangtok, Tsomgo Lake, Pelling and North Sikkim valleys (permits required).

Sikkim sits in the Eastern Himalaya with Gangtok as the friendly base for monastery visits, cable-car views and day trips to Tsomgo (Changu) Lake. Longer itineraries push to Pelling's Kanchenjunga viewpoints or restricted North Sikkim valleys with protected-area permits.

March–May brings blooms; October–December offers clear mountain views. Roads are winding — buffer travel days and carry warm layers even in spring.
