Best Time to Book a Silk Route Tour Package from Siliguri Station
The Silk Route in East Sikkim is accessible year-round, making it perfect for family vacations or honeymoon trips. According to Adorable Silkroute, a specialist in Silk Route tours from Siliguri, the ideal time to plan and book your trip is between late May and November. During this period, which is considered summer in the Silk Route, the temperature ranges from 8°C to 15°C. This pleasant weather is perfect for exploring the attractions of the ancient Silk Road, which are in full bloom with rhododendrons and primulas, offering stunning natural views.
Keep in mind that high-altitude areas like Zuluk, Gnathang, Kupup, Lungthung, and Baba Mandir often remain covered in snow throughout the year. Zuluk is a major highlight of the Silk Route tour from Siliguri. It’s a charming, tiny village with friendly locals and is known for its zigzag roads, best viewed from Thambi View Point. Zuluk is famous for its mesmerizing sunrise and sunset views, with the snow-capped Mt. Kanchenjungha and the Himalayan ranges offering unparalleled beauty.
During the winter, especially from late December to early February, Zuluk experiences heavy snowfall and temperatures can drop below freezing (-10°C). While some travelers seek the adventure of such harsh conditions, Adorable Silkroute advises against booking a Silk Route package during this time due to the extreme cold.
TRAVEL MONTHS | WEATHER | TEMPERATURE |
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 |
IMPORTANT FACTS TO KNOW BEFORE BOOKING A SILK ROUTE TOUR PACKAGE FROM NJP
The Silk Route is a beautiful but remote tourist destination with limited modern facilities. Here are some key points to consider before booking your Silk Route Package Tour from Siliguri:
Limited Modern Amenities : The Silk Route is made up of remote villages, so don’t expect luxury facilities. You’ll get basic amenities like western toilets, running water, and hot meals (usually egg curry and local vegetables). However, you won’t find luxury meals, furniture, TVs, internet, cable channels, geysers, or mineral water on demand.
Nathang Valley Precautions : Nathang Valley, at 13,200 ft, can cause dizziness, vomiting, and headaches due to the altitude and cold. It’s extremely cold at night with temperatures dropping below zero. It’s not recommended for children and elderly people to stay overnight. They should visit during the day and return to lower altitudes. Carrying a portable oxygen cylinder is advisable.
ID Proofs : Carry original and photocopies of ID proof (voter card, driving license, passport) along with two passport-size photos. For children, bring a birth certificate or school ID.
Emergency Supplies : Bring enough dry fruits, nuts, chocolate, and biscuits for emergencies like landslides or roadblocks.
Medical Kit : Pack medicines for fever, cold, cough, headache, stomach issues, and basic first aid items like band-aids, ointments, and pain relief spray.
Warm Clothes : Bring plenty of woolen clothes, gloves, hats, and wind-protective glasses as some places can have sub-zero temperatures.
Cash : Carry adequate cash in small denominations since there are no ATMs after Rongli. Withdraw cash from NJP or Siliguri, as ATMs in high altitudes often face link failures and cash shortages.
GST : GST applies to the Silk Route tour cost from NJP Station.
Bikers’ Documents : If you are biking, ensure you have valid documents for your vehicle. Without proper documentation, your adventure may be interrupted.
Alcohol Consumption : Avoid alcohol at high altitudes. If you must, carry your own brand as options are limited.
Beware of Leeches : Be cautious of leeches in lower altitude forest areas like SilleryGaon, Ramdhura, and Rongpokhola.
No Plastic Policy : Sikkim is a plastic-free state. Do not litter. “Take nothing but pictures and leave nothing but footprints.”
By keeping these points in mind, you can enjoy a safe and memorable journey during your Silk Route Tour Package from NJP/Siliguri
