Best time to visit Sikkim

Best time to visit Sikkim

Because this north-eastern state is at the top of many travellers’ wish lists throughout the world, knowing the optimum time to visit Sikkim is critical. Mount Khangchendzonga guards Sikkim, which is noted for its breathtaking natural beauty. Because of the weather, you don’t want to miss out on any of the festivities. The best time to visit Sikkim, according to the Sikkim Tourism Board, is between the months of March and June or November and February. However, each season has its own distinct beauty that contributes to tourism. You may pick and choose what best matches your needs, then relax and enjoy the region’s historic but modern charm, where monasteries and skyscrapers coexist.

Summer in Sikkim (March–June)

Sikkim has a lot to offer in terms of things to do and see. Summer is in full swing during these months, and Sikkim remains comfortable and beautiful. This is the finest time for everyone who wants to spend a few days in the peace and quiet of nature. The weather is aromatic yet damp during these months, with temperatures ranging from 5 to 25 degrees Celsius. Summer in the rest of the nation is sweltering, and Sikkim becomes the ideal hideaway for escaping the heat. The beauty of the colourful flora and wildlife, as well as the tranquillity of mountaintop Buddhist monasteries like Pemayangtse, may be seen. It is the best time of year for individuals who want to go hiking.

Monsoon Season in Sikkim (July–August)

The monsoon season in Sikkim is very difficult. Heavy rains have descended on the state. The mountainous roads become slick and unsafe to navigate since they meander. Massive landslides are common in Sikkim during the monsoon season, so plan ahead if you want to come at this time. Rains begin to fall in the final week of June, although July is the wettest month. Rainy weather is thought to make the surroundings dreary and unsuitable for vacationing. You may visit Sikkim during the monsoons if you just want to sit on a cosy balcony and sip a cup of coffee.

Autumn in Sikkim (September–October)

North Sikkim, unlike other Indian states and towns, has an unique Autumn Season. In Sikkim, the greatest time to be outside is when it is not too hot or too cold. Temperatures range from 15 to 20 degrees Celsius as fall approaches. During these months, tourists to Sikkim may enjoy a clear, stunning view of the Khangchendzonga mountain ranges, which includes the world’s third highest peak, Khangchendzonga. The beautiful waterfalls and high-altitude lakes appear even more enticing. Because it occurs right after the monsoons and before the arrival of winter, it is an ideal period for adventurous activities.

Winter in Sikkim (November to February)

Winter in the region has a distinctive mood that adds to the enjoyment of your vacation. The arid plains have a rough beauty all their own. Winter temperatures vary from 4 to 7 degrees Celsius, making it sometimes extremely cold. In the backdrop, images of snow-capped mountains become your constant friend. The lakes freeze over, yet their presence adds to Sikkim’s alluring splendour. During the winters, it receives continuous and enormous snowfall. For those who enjoy snow, Yumthang Valley, Gangtok, Lachung, and Pelling look to be exquisite when blanketed in a layer of white shimmering snow. As a result, some of the most captivating vistas can be found nowhere else in the country.
