Best Time to Visit Sikkim and Darjeeling
Choosing the right season can completely transform your Sikkim and Darjeeling experience. From snow-covered mornings to flower-filled valleys, each season offers its own kind of magic.

- March to May (Nature in Full Bloom): Spring brings Sikkim and Darjeeling to life with blooming rhododendrons, orchids, and lush greenery. The weather is pleasant, neither too cold nor too warm, making it ideal for sightseeing and outdoor exploration.
- September to October (Clear Skies and Golden Landscapes): After the monsoon washes the hills clean, autumn arrives with crisp air and unmatched visibility. Snow peaks appear sharper, valleys look greener, and sunsets turn golden.
