March to May (spring) for rhododendrons and clear skies; October to November (autumn) for stable weather and crisp mountain views. Avoid the heavy monsoon months (June–September) due to landslides and poor visibility.

High-altitude, cool to cold climate. Days in the recommended seasons are usually chilly but pleasant; mornings and nights can be freezing, especially in winter. Weather changes fast—expect wind, sudden clouds, and occasional snowfall in winter.

There is no formal entry fee for the viewpoint itself. The site is accessible year-round, though early morning visits are recommended for the best views. Timings depend on road access and local conditions; check with local guides or hotels for daily accessibility.

Reachable by road from Gangtok and via the North Sikkim route toward Chungthang and Lachung. Nearest major transport hubs: Bagdogra Airport (Guwahati/Bagdogra by air) and New Jalpaiguri (NJP) railway station; onward road travel (shared taxis or private cabs) to North Sikkim. Road conditions can be narrow and winding; expect long drives and possible delays due to mountain weather. Foreign nationals may need Protected Area Permits (PAP) for parts of North Sikkim—check requirements and obtain permits through Sikkim tourism authorities or registered tour operators. Carry photo ID (e.g., passport/Aadhar) for permit processing.

Plan a stop of 1–3 hours at Singhik View Point for sunrise/sunset and photography. If combined with other North Sikkim sights (Lachung, Gurudongmar), allocate 2–4 days for the circuit.

Warm layers (thermal base, fleece, insulated jacket), windproof/waterproof outer layer, sturdy walking shoes, sunhat and sunglasses, sunscreen, binoculars and a good camera. In winter, carry heavier insulation and footwear suitable for snow.

Try local Sikkimese dishes such as momos, thukpa, and local tea. Souvenirs include handloom woolens, yak-wool shawls, local jams, fermented products and traditional handicrafts. Purchase from local stalls to support village economies.
