Sikkim enjoys a diverse climate - from sub-tropical in the south to alpine in the north. Summers (April to June) are cool and pleasant, while winters (October to February) can bring snowfall in higher regions. Monsoon (July to September) turns the hills lush and green. Home to India’s highest peak, Mt. Kanchenjunga, the state boasts stunning valleys, rivers, glaciers, and dense forests.
Once an independent kingdom, Sikkim became a part of India in 1975. Its rich cultural fabric is woven from Tibetan, Nepali, Lepcha, and Bhutia influences. Buddhism plays a central role in local life, reflected in its many monasteries, prayer flags, and peaceful way of living. English, Nepali, and Hindi are commonly spoken.
Sikkim’s festivals are a vivid expression of its cultural harmony, spirituality, and deep-rooted traditions. Celebrated with devotion and vibrant community participation, these events offer a window into the soul of the state.
These festivals beautifully showcase Sikkim’s peaceful spirit, religious diversity, and communal warmth.
Sikkimese cuisine is humble yet rich in flavor, often made from organic, locally-sourced ingredients. Influenced by Nepali, Tibetan, and native traditions, the food is healthy, hearty, and deeply satisfying.
Pair your meals with a soothing cup of Sikkim Tea, grown organically in the state’s high-altitude gardens - delicate, aromatic, and a perfect reflection of the region’s purity.
The vibrant capital of Sikkim, Gangtok blends cultural heritage with modern charm. Stroll down MG Marg, the bustling pedestrian-only street filled with shops, cafes, and local markets. Visit the majestic Rumtek Monastery, one of the most important centers of Tibetan Buddhism, and the peaceful Enchey Monastery. Don't miss the scenic Tashi View Point for breathtaking Himalayan sunrises.
A sacred glacial lake located at an altitude of over 12,000 feet, Tsomgo Lake is surrounded by snow-covered peaks and alpine forests.

Once a critical point on the ancient Silk Route, Nathula Pass sits on the Indo-China border at 14,140 feet. Open to Indian tourists (with permits), the pass offers jaw-dropping views of snowbound landscapes and allows you to stand just a few meters from the international border. The journey to Nathula is equally thrilling, passing snow-clad roads and military camps.
Situated in North Sikkim, Lachung is a scenic village known for its snow-dusted beauty and welcoming locals.

A serene town in West Sikkim, Pelling is famed for panoramic views of Mt. Kanchenjunga.
