      Places to visit in Sikkim during Monsoon

      India’s North East is the most picturesque region, although tourists seldom go there. North Eastern India’s Sikkim, often known as the Valley of Flowers, is a stunning state. Both Buddhist Monasteries and Hindu Shrines may be found here, displaying the exquisite Indian culture.

       

      Even though it is India’s smallest state, it has the most picturesque valley, complete with a wide variety of trees, waterfalls, animals, and rivers. Sikkim is even more lovely and well of a visit during the monsoon season. In Sikkim, there is a lot to discover, including lakes, glaciers, historical sites, and exciting pursuits like hiking.

       

      Sikkim in Monsoon

      Sikkim has monsoon season from May to September, with monsoon arrival beginning in May. In Sikkim, the rainy season is divided into two categories: the summer rains and the winter rains. While the northern half of Sikkim expects winter rainfall in August and September, the southern section of the state experiences heavier summer showers. Monsoon season enhances Sikkim’s allure and beauty as a destination. Due to the picturesque splendour, which is enhanced even more during the rainy season, the location feels like heaven. Rare bird species can be seen at this time. Try visiting Sikkim’s southern portion during the winter rains and its northern portion in May and June.

      Khecheopalri Lake is situated about 147 kilometres away from Gangtok. The lake is revered by both Hindus and Buddhists and is known as the wish-fulfilling lake. Any month is a good time to visit the lake, but the monsoon season enhances its beauty and appeal. There is vegetation everywhere. The fact that this lake is shaped like feet adds to its mystique and humour. Additionally, there are hills nearby that draw several hikers.

       

      Rabdentse Palace Ruins

      It is a stunning historical location. To get here, one must pass through a woodland region. And since one is in a lovely green location after this 10-minute stroll, it is without a doubt the nicest walk. The rainy season in Sikkim makes the ruins even more magnificent since it gives the area a more enchanting, romantic feel.

       

      Darap Village

      Visit the Darap Village to experience Sikkim’s distinctive beauty. In this village, one may have a beautiful homestay. During the monsoon season, living in a modest cottage allows one to take in the enchanting view of the valley. By living in the village with the residents, a visitor may get a taste of the local culture. If you there, you will be completely taken in by the grandeur of the rain-soaked mountains that surround the area.

       

      Enchey Monastery

      Enchey Monastery, which is currently a place of worship, was founded in 1909. The deities of this monastery are said to grant any requests made by their followers. It is one of Sikkim’s oldest monasteries and is situated at a very high altitude, giving visitors a beautiful perspective of the mountainous peaks. From here, one has the greatest view of the Kanchenjunga Hills, which makes one feel fortunate.

The park receives significant snowfall virtually the whole year, transforming it into a place of beauty.
