WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO SILK ROUTE TOUR PACKAGE WITH NORTH SIKKIM?

This period offers breathtaking views of nature in Silk Route.
Places like Zuluk, Gnathang, Kupup, Lungthung, and Baba Mandir are covered in snow throughout the year due to their high altitudes. Zuluk, in particular, is a charming village known for its zigzag roads, visible from Thambi View Point. It’s famous for its mesmerizing sunrise and stunning views of the snow-capped Mt. Kanchenjungha and the Himalayan Mountains.
During winter, especially from late December to early February, Zuluk experiences heavy snowfall and freezing temperatures below -10°C. Adorable Silkroute advises against booking Silk Route packages during this period due to the harsh conditions, despite some travelers seeking adventure in extreme environments.

April to June | Summer | 9°C to 15°C |
July to September | Monsoon | 8°C to 10°C |
October to March | Winter | -10° C to 4° C |
