Trekking In Sikkim:

The best months for trekking and touring in Sikkim are Oct-Nov-Dec and Jan/March-April-May and part of June. However, Sikkim is for all seasons and all reasons. The Rhododendron flowers are at the best from May to June end. In Dec and Jan there are liable to be heavy snowfalls at the heights. The forests of Sikkim are still intact. Trekking in Sikkim is very different from Nepal, as trekkers are not allowed to roam unaccompanied through the hills as that of Nepal. Foreigners must form a group of at least 2 persons and a registered TREKKING AGENCY in SIKKIM must provide support services.

What to bring on a Trek:

Good attitude*, already used trekking boots or to use them before the trek if it’s a new pair, sun glasses, sunscreen lotion, insect repellents, personal medicines*, water bottles-refillable*, caps, walking sticks*, gloves, toilet paper rolls, heavy woollens for the night as temperatures in the mountains can be very rude in the night fall, windcheaters, waterproof camera bags, rain coat, thermal wear, good sleeping bags with inners*, inflatable mattresses, sufficient camera rolls, battery backups, small back pack for personal carry, medical and cancellation insurance and lots of Energy-You will require lots of it..
