💡 Travel Tips
💰 Visit during shoulder seasons (April-May or September-October) when hotel rates drop by 30-40% compared to peak season, and book homestays instead of resorts to save 50% on accommodation while getting authentic local experiences.
📅 April to June and September to October are ideal for visiting Lachen when skies are clear, temperatures range from 8-15°C, and mountain views are unobstructed. Avoid monsoon season (July-August) due to heavy rainfall and landslide risks, and winter months (November-March) when heavy snow closes high-altitude passes.
🛂 Indian passport holders do not require a visa to visit Sikkim or Lachen. However, you must obtain an Inner Line Permit (ILP) from the Sikkim government, which can be easily obtained online or at the airport upon arrival.
