💡 Travel Tips
💰 Book homestays directly with local families instead of hotels to save 40-50% on accommodation while supporting the community and enjoying authentic meals included in rates.
📅 October to November and March to May are ideal, offering clear skies, moderate temperatures, and blooming rhododendrons without heavy snow. December to February brings stunning snow-covered landscapes but requires warm clothing and may cause road closures.
🛂 Indian nationals require an Inner Line Permit (ILP) to visit Lachen, which must be obtained in advance from the Sikkim government office or through registered tour operators. No passport visa is needed as it's within India, but the ILP is mandatory for entry.
