Pre-monsoon spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) for clear skies, pleasant temperatures and flowering rhododendrons in season.

Cool temperate climate: mild days and chilly nights. Monsoon (June–August) brings heavy rain and slippery trails; winters (December–February) can be cold with occasional frost at higher spots.

Nearest major airport: Bagdogra (West Bengal). Nearest major railhead: New Jalpaiguri (Siliguri). From these hubs, reach Sikkim by road and continue to West Sikkim (via Gyalshing/Geyzing or Pelling region) by taxi or local bus. Roads are hilly; allow extra time for travel and possible weather-related delays.

2–3 days to relax, explore local trails and experience a homestay; longer if you plan multiple treks or to combine with nearby destinations such as Pelling or Gyalshing.

Layered clothing (warm fleece/jacket for mornings and evenings), waterproof outer shell during monsoon, sturdy walking shoes, sun protection, and basic first-aid/medication. Bring insect repellent in warmer months.

Try local Sikkimese/Nepali dishes such as momos, thukpa and seasonal vegetable preparations; homemade jams, pickles and organic produce make good edible souvenirs. Handicrafts, prayer flags, small Buddhist artefacts and handmade woolens are popular keepsakes.
