Sikkim questions, answered

I am not from this region - how do I join the trip?
Easily. The trip starts at Bagdogra airport or NJP railway station near Siliguri, with daily flights from Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai and Bangalore and overnight trains from Kolkata. Reach Bagdogra or NJP and everything after that, from pickup to final drop, is on us.
Is this a group departure or a private trip?
This is a fully private trip: your own cab, your own dates and your own pace. The route here is the recommended plan, and we adjust it to your liking when you enquire.
What is the best time for this trip?
March to June and October to December are the sweetest windows, with clear Kanchenjunga views on most mornings. The July to September monsoon brings mist and occasional landslides on the hill roads, so we keep those weeks flexible.
Are Tsomgo Lake and Nathula covered?
Tsomgo Lake and Baba Mandir are part of the plan, arranged with the required day permit and your ID. Nathula Pass needs a separate permit, stays closed on Mondays and Tuesdays and is weather-dependent, so it is planned as an add-on when open.
Can the itinerary be customised?
Yes. Days can be added or removed, stays upgraded, and places swapped. Send an enquiry with your dates and group size and we will build the exact plan and price for you.
