When is the perfect time to visit :

As suggested by Sikkim Tourism, the best time to visit Sikkim is either between March and May or October and mid-December. If you want to witness the blooming natural beauty in Gangtok best season to visit would be in spring, from March to May. Autumn, on the other hand, brings the clear view of Himalayan Range.

Sikkim’s winters can be glimpsed from Gangtok area. Gangtok has a temperature of 17° degree to 23° degree, 15° degree to 19° temperature during the season. Winter clothing is essential for Sikkim tours. If you are with a package then you must ask your package manager to issue your travel permit.

Gangtok to Lachung tips

1. While traveling from Gangtok to Lachung, carry dry food and dry cake with you. Food prices are very high in Lachung and dry food is essential for Lachung to survive

2. Distance from Gangtok to Lachung is 115.2 km and takes 7 to 8 hours. The journey from Gangtok to Lachung is bumpy but there are many waterfalls and scenic views on the way from Gangtok to Lachung.

As you enter Lachung from Gangtok you climb up the hill and the amount of cold increases and the amount of oxygen decreases. Lachung is 9,600 feet above the surface so you will gradually experience cold and oxygen depletion.

Zero Point

Those who have problems like breathing problems, breathing problems and asthma problems, then my recommendation is that they should not go to zero point. And if they want to go, they should take oxygen bottles with them. Because there is a lot of ice at Zero Point and since Zero Point is 17,000 feet above the surface, there is very little oxygen there.
