Weather In Sikkim

We were welcomed by pleasant weather that uplifted not only our moods but overall experience as well. We experienced foggy weather and it also rained every now and then. Sometimes it was difficult for the drivers since the visibility of the roads was very poor due to fog. Nevertheless, that was not a huge obstacle. Also, the average temperature of Sikkim was around 20 °C and in the night time, the temperature would drop down to 2-3 °C.

Some Top Tourists Spots Where We Visited

We went to some of the most famous places in Sikkim lake Tsomgo Lake, Nathula Pass, Seven Sisters Waterfall, Baba Mandir, Gurudongmar Lake, and Yumthang Valley. Check out our adventurous travel to Sikkim that let us relax in the lap of nature.

1. Tsomgo Lake And Baba Mandir

We started off our fantastic journey while visiting Tsomgo lake which is one of the best lakes in Sikkim. Surrounded by majestic mountains, the lake offered us numerous breathtaking views. It was such a magical experience to witness the serenity of this place. And, while residing in metropolitan cities, these sites is something we always crave for.

After enjoying a lovely time by the lake, we headed towards Baba mandir which is devoted to Baba Harbhajan Singh who was a brave army soldier. All in all, we had a great experience while visiting both places.

2. Char Dham In Namchi

For pampering our souls, next we moved towards Char Dham In Namchi which is a famous religious site in Sikkim. The temple is dedicated to Four Dhams and the twelve Jyotirlingas. The moment we entered this soulful place, we felt a unique sense of peace. Moreover, the lushful gardens, mist laden clouds, and beautiful mountain views of the hills was adding a unique charm to this place. Like various experiences in Sikkim, this one also gave us numerous memories that we will cherish forever.

3. Seven Sisters Waterfalls

Out of many reasons to visit Sikkim, one was to witness the beauty of this place with naked eyes and while visiting Seven Sisters Waterfalls, we felt as if we were in seventh heaven. This breathtaking waterfall is an hour from the City. We halted there for quite some time and clicked as many pictures as we could. Needless to stay, the spot is immensely bewitching. We wished we could stay there for some more time (which would have never been enough). Nevertheless, we made the most of our time and enjoyed to heart’s content.

4. Zero Point & Yumthang Valley

Our wonderful experience reached its height when we visited Yumthang Valley & Zero Point. The valley was indeed a treat to our eyes with numerous captivating flowers and breathtaking vistas. We spent a delightful time while enjoying a leisurely stroll in the valley of colors & vividness. There were also some tea stalls and shops selling winter clothing and some hand-crafted items. Next, we moved towards zero point that was speaking volumes of the beauty of Sikkim. Honestly, there wasn’t even a single place where we found a dearth of natural beauty. Even though the roads we a bit bumpy and there was a risk of landslides, we still enjoyed our vacation to the hilt.

Shopping In Sikkim

We came across various shopping places in Sikkim Gangtok and realised that shopping is pretty cheap in the local market. We got a few nightwears as it was pretty cold there and we also bought some showpieces for our friends and folks. From food to clothes, everything was available at cheaper and affordable prices. All in all, Sikkim street shopping was what we liked the most!

Restaurants In Sikkim

Since I and my family are pure vegetarians, we were looking for vegetarian food that especially included south Indian. Luckily, we came across some eateries where we savored dosas and idlis. We found popular restaurants in MG road market where we got a plate of idli which cost us INR 60 per plate. Overall, whichever restaurant we tried, we found that the food quality was up to the mark. Also, we found various options of food to eat in Gangtok and there was hardly any time when we had to struggle to find suitable food options.

Hotels We Stayed At

In our 6 days trip, we stayed at 3 different hotels namely, Khangsar Villa, Hotel Blue Pine Lachen, and Lachung Deezong. All the hotels were up to the mark and the staff at all these hotels were extremely cordial. They made sure that all our queries were entertained on time. Especially, our stay at khangsar villa was indeed a pleasant experience. The staff at the reception helped us a lot and also suggested some best places to visit.
