Best Time To Book Holidays Packages For Sikkim
The best time to visit the state of Sikkim is spring and summer season. From March through early May, the weather in Sikkim is mostly clear and the temperatures are pleasant for sightseeing. Another ideal time to book our Sikkim trip packages is between October and mid-December. This fall season or post-monsoon season in Sikkim is also the best time to indulge in adventure sports such as trekking and skiing.
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.
How to Reach Sikkim?
The state is accessible from all major cities in India by train and by air. There are direct trains from major junctions in India to reach Sikkim. The nearest train station from Gangtok is located in New Jalpaiguri in West Bengal. From there tourists can board a bus or hire local taxis to visit Sikkim.
For inter-state travel, Gangtok acts as the base to explore remoter regions such as Yuksom, Pelling, and Yumthang Valley in North Sikkim. Here the following various modes to plan a trip to Sikkim:
By Air
The newly-opened Pakyong Airport (PYG) is located about 35 kilometres south of the state capital Gangtok. At the moment, SpiceJet offers direct flights from Guwahati and Kolkata to this airport in Sikkim. It takes less than 90 minutes to reach Kolkata to Sikkim Airport by nonstop flight. The secondary airport to travel to Sikkim is Bagdogra Airport (IXB) near Siliguri. It lies about 125 km from the state capital and is approachable via taxi or bus in about three hours. Bagdogra Airport is directly connected with Delhi and Kolkata by nonstop flights.
By Road
The state is accessible from northern areas of West Bengal. Destinations such as Darjeeling, Kalimpong, and Siliguri are directly connected via public transport and private taxis to Gangtok and other places in Sikkim. It is not advisable to travel by road to Sikkim during the monsoon season as landslides and torrential rains often block road network. Tourists can reach Gangtok in 1 hour from the nearest PYG Airport. And, it may take up to three hours to reach Gangtok from New Jalpaiguri Train Station.
By Rail
Currently, the state of Sikkim does not have any train connectivity. The nearest broad-gauge station is in West Bengal’s New Jalpaiguri (near Siliguri), which is a three-hour drive from Gangtok. New Jalpaiguri station lies on major train routes from metro cities in India including Kolkata and Delhi. Shared taxis or public buses regularly run between Gangtok and New Jalpaiguri for travellers.
