Best time: March to May (spring) and October to November (clear skies, pleasant temperatures and good mountain views). Avoid the heavy monsoon months (June–September) if you want clear views and safer road travel.

Cool and temperate in spring and autumn with chilly mornings/evenings. Monsoon brings heavy rain and slippery roads; winters can be cold with frost at higher elevations.

Nearest major transport hubs: Bagdogra Airport (Siliguri) and New Jalpaiguri (NJP) railway station — both are used as gateways to Sikkim. From these hubs, travelers typically drive to Namchi or nearby towns and then take local taxis or shared jeeps to Kewzing. Road travel within Sikkim can be winding; allow extra time. Public bus options are limited; private taxis or hired cars are most convenient.

2–3 days to relax, explore the village, do short walks and visit nearby monasteries. Combine with other South Sikkim destinations for a longer trip.

Pack layers (light fleece, warm jacket), sturdy walking shoes, rainproof jacket during monsoon months, sun protection (hat, sunglasses) and basic trekking essentials for short trails.

Try local dishes such as momos, thukpa, gundruk and homemade Sikkimese specialties at homestays. Souvenirs include handwoven textiles, local handicrafts, tea, cardamom and yak-wool or woollen items.
