💡 Travel Tips
💰 Stay in local homestays or guesthouses (₹1,500-2,500/night) run by Lepcha families instead of hotels - you'll save 40-50% while enjoying authentic home-cooked meals and genuine local hospitality.
📅 October to November and March to May are ideal, offering clear skies, pleasant temperatures (8-15°C), and stunning visibility of snow-capped peaks. December to February brings heavy snowfall that can isolate the village but rewards adventurous travelers with magical white landscapes.
🛂 Indian citizens need no visa or special permits to visit Sikkim. A valid Indian ID proof (Aadhar, PAN, or Passport) is sufficient for entry into the state.
