💡 Travel Tips
💰 Stay in homestays or budget guesthouses in Gangtok's residential areas like Deorali or Tadong instead of MG Marg hotels - you'll save 40-50% on accommodation while experiencing authentic local hospitality and home-cooked meals.
📅 October to November and March to May are ideal for visiting Gangtok, offering clear skies, pleasant temperatures (10-20°C), and excellent visibility of Kanchenjunga. Avoid monsoon season (June-September) due to heavy rainfall and landslides, and winter months (December-February) when temperatures drop below 5°C.
🛂 Indian passport holders do not require a visa to visit Gangtok as it's within India. However, you'll need an Inner Line Permit (ILP) which is easily obtainable at the airport, railway station, or online through the Sikkim government website.
