Planning Your Journey to North Sikkim
North Sikkim is a pristine alpine wilderness home to Lachen, Lachung, Yumthang Valley, and Gurudongmar Lake. Because of its proximity to the international border, permits are mandatory for all visitors.
Required Permits
Protected Area Permits (PAP) can be easily arranged through registered Sikkim travel agencies by providing passport photos and ID proof.
Best Time to Visit
April to May brings blooming rhododendrons across Yumthang Valley, while October to December promises clear blue skies and snow-capped peaks.
