Questions people ask
Good to know
Is November a good time to visit West and South Sikkim?
November is our favourite month. Views are as good as October with fewer crowds, Himalayan cherry blooms along the Temi approach road, and late Goecha La departures still run in good years. Nights turn cold, so pack warm. Temi's estate roads glow pink under the blossom while the hills turn gold and brown. Days are dry and roads are in good shape after the monsoon repairs.
What is the weather like in West and South Sikkim in November?
Pelling 5–15 °C, dry, very clear. Conditions differ by altitude and coast, so check the forecast for each stop a week before you travel.
Where should we go in West and South Sikkim in November?
We suggest Temi Tea Garden, Pelling, Rinchenpong and Kaluk. Go to Temi in November for cherry blossom and tea-garden views of the range.
