Why Visit Darjeeling & Sikkim?

This region combines Darjeeling in West Bengal — known for its tea gardens, colonial-era toy train and views toward Kangchenjunga — with neighbouring Sikkim, covering Gangtok, the capital, with its monasteries and cable car; Pelling, known for closer Kangchenjunga views; and the more remote Lachen and Lachung valleys, gateways to high-altitude lakes like Gurudongmar and valleys like Yumthang. These are commonly sold together as one eastern Himalaya circuit given their proximity.

Best Time to Visit Darjeeling & Sikkim

March–May brings spring blooms including rhododendrons in Sikkim's valleys. October–December offers the clearest mountain views. June–September is monsoon season with a landslide risk on hill roads, and higher-altitude areas like Lachen-Lachung can see snow and road closures in deep winter.

How Many Days Are Enough?

A Darjeeling-Gangtok short break works in 4–5 nights. The longer circuits below, extending to Pelling, Lachen, Lachung and Kalimpong, run 7–9 nights for a fuller eastern Himalaya tour.

How to Reach Darjeeling & Sikkim

Bagdogra Airport near Siliguri is the main gateway for the whole region, with Darjeeling roughly 3 hours by road and Gangtok around 4–5 hours. Sikkim's own Pakyong Airport near Gangtok also has limited flight connectivity.
