Winter Season

With the onset of winter season, tourist footfall in Gangtok and other places in Sikkim decreases. Aside from New Year and Christmas holidays, winter is generally considered an offseason for Sikkim tourism.

Summer Season

The summer months, from April to June, are the best time to plan a visit to Gurudongmar Lake, Yumthang Valley, and Nathula Pass. The temperature during this season remains between 13 degree Celsius to 28 degree Celsius.

Monsoon Season

Monsoon season arrives early in the Northeast so beware of heavy rainfall and landslides between late June and early September. It is not advisable to book tour packages for Sikkim in the monsoon season to remote areas due to the threat of downpour and torrential rains.
