Best Time to Book Sikkim Tour Packages from Pune

The ideal time to book a Sikkim tour package from Pune is from October to November and March to May when Sikkim’s weather is most welcoming. Sikkim is known for its glacial weather and Himalayan winters, but autumn and spring/summer is an excellent time for travellers to explore the length and breadth of this state. The state also hosts multiple cultural events and locals celebrate their unique festivals that adds to one’s Sikkim experience.

October to November (Autumn)

Enjoyable weather, azure skies, and crystal clear views of the stunning Himalayan mountains makes autumn one of the best seasons to visit Sikkim. The outdoors are perfect for sightseeing and to partake in adventure sports like rafting, paragliding, or trekking. The Himalayan cherry blossom trees locally known as Padmakh or Pajja are in full bloom and can be witnessed at Temi Tea Garden. Sikkim also hosts its Cherry Tea festival which attracts many tourists.

Temperature ranges: 5°C to 15 – 18°C

March to May (Spring/Summer)

Spring/Summer in Sikkim is an excellent time for a vacation. The harsh winter season takes a back seat and mother nature infuses life into forests, rivers, lakes, and the valleys of Sikkim. The touring experience in Sikkim is extremely rewarding during this time of the year. Sikkim’s Yumthang valley blooms with Himalayan flowers. March to May is also a good time to go for trekking expeditions in Sikkim. The season is favourable for families, honeymooners, and senior citizens to visit.

Temperature ranges: 6°C to 20°C

December to February (Peak Winter)

For those who want to experience the Himalayan winter and experience snowfall, choose December to February to plan your Sikkim trip. The ideal time would be early December and mid to late February. While lower areas like Ravangla, Pelling and Namchi receive light snowfall, North Sikkim’s Lachung, Lachen, Chopta and Thangu valley get heavy snowfall. Lakes like Tsomgo and Gurudongmar freeze from December to February.

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

July to September (Monsoon)

Travelling to Sikkim for a holiday in the monsoon season is both challenging and difficult. July to September are the wettest months of the year. Sikkim receives around 600 mm of rainfall each month during this period. The roads become slippery and there is a fear of landslides and blockages. It is best to avoid the monsoon season for a Sikkim trip.

Temperature Ranges: 15°C to 18°C
