Another ideal time to plan your Sikkim trip would be between October and mid-December, which is the fall season or post-monsoon season . This is an excellent time to indulge in adventure sports like trekking and skiing, as the weather is cool and pleasant.

Our Sikkim tour packages also provide detailed information about the Sikkim tour cost , making it easier for you to plan your budget. With our comprehensive tour packages, you can be assured of a hassle-free and unforgettable trip to Sikkim.

Let us take a look at what Sikkim is like in the summer, monsoon and winter seasons.

Summer in Sikkim

If you’re planning a trip to Sikkim, the summer months from April to June are the best time to visit . During this period, the weather is conducive to conduct activities like trekking, camping, and visiting monasteries. There is a slight drop in temperature at night but it’s mostly bearable. However, do carry a warm shawl or cardigan with you. This is the best time to check out tourist attractions like Gurudongmar Lake, Yumthang Valley, and Nathula Pass.

The average temperature in Sikkim during summer , which lasts from April to June, ranges from 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F) in most places. However, temperatures can vary depending on the altitude and location. For instance, the temperature in Gangtok, the capital city of Sikkim, typically ranges between 10°C to 22°C (50°F to 72°F) during summer. Higher altitude areas, such as Lachung and Lachen, may have cooler temperatures, ranging from 5°C to 18°C (41°F to 64°F) during this time.

Winter in Sikkim

Winter in Sikkim begins in November and lasts until mid-March . If you like snowfall or want to witness it first hand, then this time may be the perfect time for you! During winter in Sikkim, the average temperature ranges from 0°C to 15°C (32°F to 59°F) depending on the altitude and location. In places like Gangtok, the capital city of Sikkim, the temperature during the day ranges from 9°C to 14°C (48°F to 57°F), while at night, it can drop to as low as -5°C (23°F).

Higher altitude areas, such as Lachung and Lachen, experience much colder temperatures, with daytime temperatures ranging from -5°C to 5°C (23°F to 41°F) and nighttime temperatures dropping to -15°C (5°F) or lower.

It’s important to note that heavy snowfall can occur during winter in Sikkim, particularly in high-altitude areas, which can result in roadblocks and make certain regions inaccessible. If you plan to visit Sikkim during winter , be sure to pack warm clothes and be prepared for the cold weather and possible travel disruptions.

Monsoon in Sikkim

During the monsoon season in Sikkim, which lasts from June to September , the average temperature ranges from 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F) depending on the location and altitude. In places like Gangtok, the temperature during the day usually ranges from 22°C to 25°C (72°F to 77°F), while at night, it can drop to as low as 16°C (61°F).

Please note that during the monsoon season, Sikkim receives heavy rainfall, which can cause landslides, roadblocks, and other travel disruptions. Some areas may also be temporarily inaccessible due to flooding. If you plan a Sikkim Holiday package during the monsoon season, you have to be flexible with your itinerary.

How to Reach Sikkim?

To make an informed decision when booking your Sikkim tour package, it’s important to understand the various transportation options available and determine which one is most suitable for you. Fortunately, the stunning Himalayan destination of Sikkim can be accessed via air, rail, and road. Here’s a closer look at each option

Sikkim via Airways

In 2018, Sikkim received its first airport, the Pakyong Airport (PYG), which is located about 35 km away from the state capital, Gangtok. Currently, the only airline that operates flights to Pakyong Airport is SpiceJet. This airport has significantly improved the connectivity of Sikkim to the rest of the country, making it easier for tourists to visit the state.

However, if you cannot find direct flights to Pakyong, the secondary airport to travel to Sikkim is Bagdogra Airport (IXB), which is situated near Siliguri and approximately 125 km away from Gangtok. From Bagdogra, you can hire a taxi or take a bus, which will take about three hours to reach Gangtok.

Bagdogra Airport has good connectivity with major cities in India such as Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, and Bangalore. Several airlines, including IndiGo, Air India, Vistara, and SpiceJet, operate flights to Bagdogra Airport. If you are looking for a faster mode of transportation, helicopter services are also available from Bagdogra to Gangtok, which takes only about 20 minutes to reach. If you want to travel to Sikkim, taking a direct flight is the fastest and safest option.

Sikkim via Railways
