Best Time to Book Sikkim Tour Packages from Kolkata

October to November (Autumn) or March to May (Spring/Summer) is the best time to book a Sikkim tour package from Kolkata. The weather is inviting and travel-friendly. Whether it’s sightseeing, experiencing cultural festivals, participating in adventure sports, tourists from Kolkata will be able to fully enjoy themselves. Plus the views of mountains and valleys are also particularly beautiful from October to November and March to May.

October to November (Autumn)

The pleasant mountain breeze, lush vegetation and clear blue skies adorns Sikkim, making it a perfect place to enjoy a rejuvenating retreat. The temperatures are manageable, but may drop in the higher elevation areas like Lachung or Thangu. October to November is one of the best periods to visit Sikkim as you can experience the local festivals like the Cherry Tea festival as well as Dussehra and Diwali.

Temperature ranges: 5°C to 15 – 18°C

March to May (Spring/Summer)

Sikkim’s natural landscape is at its best during the spring and summer season making it the best time to book a tour package. As the winter season withdraws, Sikkim’s forests, rhododendron sanctuaries and valleys like Yumthang (in North Sikkim) become captivating. It’s an excellent time for families, newly weds, adventurers to visit Sikkim. March to May is also a good time to add adventure activities like trekking and bungee jumping into your tour package.

Temperature ranges: 6°C to 20°C

December to February (Peak Winter)

If you want to experience the freezing Himalayan winters and snowfall, December to February is the right time to book a Sikkim tour package.

Early December and late February is the ideal shoulder season when you won’t find large tourist crowds and enjoy Sikkim peacefully.

Temperature Ranges: – 5°C to 12°C (changes with the elevation)
