Planning Your First Sikkim Trip: A Simple Checklist
The questions worth answering before you book — from routing to permits and pace.
Start with how you like to travel
Decide whether you prefer a relaxed pace with fewer hotel changes, or a fuller route that covers more ground. This single choice shapes your entire itinerary.
Choose your arrival point
Most travellers to Sikkim arrive via Bagdogra or travel onward from Kolkata. Share your arrival details with your planner so road transfers can be timed sensibly.
Ask about permits early
Some areas of Sikkim require permits that depend on nationality and current regulations. Ask your planner what applies to your group and which documents to keep ready.
Leave room for the mountains
Mountain roads and weather can change plans. A little buffer time keeps the journey enjoyable rather than rushed.
