Has anyone here visited sikkim before?

We are planning to visit Sikkim during the Jan-Feb months. I got to know that Gurudongmar Lake will not be opened due to heavy snowfall.

Can someone share your experience and which travel you booked? Anything else.

We went with 7 friends to celebrate new year 😅😅. We’re lucky enough to reach Gurudongemar lake. But there were heavy snowfalls. Most of the vehicles returned after few kilometres. It was 2018-2019.

Go with a package if you want your trip to be budget friendly. Most preferable book your package from silliguri itself rather than Gangtok

Gurudongmar lake is at approx 12k altitude but wind over there is too chilly. If you somehow go also in jan-feb then visit from up don't go down near lake. I have been to lachun lachen as well in same trip but gurudongmer lake was tough. In sikkim traveling is very costly compared to up north in himachal or jammu. Southern parts of sikkim are easy to cover.
