March to May for flowers and clear days, and October to December for the clearest mountain views. December to March brings snow at Tsomgo and Lachung. June to September is the monsoon, with landslides on some roads.

Places to see in Gangtok

  • Tsomgo Lake: A glacial lake at about 3,750 m, around 40 km from Gangtok. Permit needed.
  • Nathu La: The border pass with China, open to Indian nationals with a permit on set days of the week.
  • MG Marg: The car-free main street of Gangtok, lively in the evening.
  • Rumtek Monastery: The largest monastery in Sikkim, about 24 km from the town.
  • Lachung and Yumthang: The North Sikkim valley of flowers, snow in winter and rhododendrons in spring.
  • Banjhakri Falls: A park and waterfall just outside Gangtok, good for a relaxed afternoon.

Good to know: Carry a photo ID and two passport-size photos for each traveller. Tsomgo, Nathu La and North Sikkim can close for a day after snow or landslides, so keep a spare day in the plan.
