North Sikkim is a district of Indian State Sikkim and it is seventh least populous district in India. A large part of North Sikkim is restricted to travellers because these areas share a sensitive border with the People’s Republic of China. The areas of North Sikkim which are open to travellers gained immense popularity due to its scenic beauty and stunning views of majestic snow capped mountains. The most popular tourist destinations of North Sikkim are Lachen, Gurudongmar lake, Lachung and Yumthang Valley.

This journey from Gangtok to North Sikkim then west and south Sikkim for us was about 7 nights and 8 days.. It costed us Rs 35k…
35k is only for taxi for 8 days.
Other costs are extra. This 8 day journey is for North, south and west Sikkim. We paid Rs 2500 for taxi per day in Gangtok, that was for 8 hours.. they charge extra if you hire beyond 8 hours..
we virtually ended up paying about Rs 3300 to 3500 per day for local sight seeing bcoz we had taxi with full for full day early morning to late evening.
This complete complete journey from Gangtok to Lachen in North sikkim took us about 13 hours….
Reason it took time was bcoz we stopped for food, shoot took time plus every 30 minutes we took break to see and enjoy the beauty…
If you want to plan this journey, i will suggest you to get your bookings done properly because it involves permit.
We did this journey during last week of June 2018, which is an off season time…
Important note for this journey:
Avoid rainy season.
Travel in either feb or March or in oct and nov to enjoy sikkim the most.
Check with your travel agent on the fact whether can travel to North sikkim or not because some of the routes are closed because of snow.
Cost for minimum low cost travel two and a half days in Gangtok will be about Rs 11000 - details in description of previous episodes of Gangtok:
Taxi cost for travel to North or other regions of Sikkim: Rs 3500 per day, for certain cost moment you are 2 people cost goes high. for example i have put 400 fare from siliguri to Gangtok for one person so you have to adjust if you are two.
Food Rs 1500
hotel: Rs 2000
For every day that you travel in Sikkim minimum cost will be Rs 7000.
North sikkim i don't think you can travel by bus, i am not sure, suggest check with some one else...but yes you can travel to other districts of sikkim by bus, check details with tourism office in MG marg Gangtok for details.
MG marg is the place which is heart of Gangtok, try taking a hotel near MG marg.
Sikkim is over all expensive, so be sure on costs bcoz your budgets can over shoot, especially if you are going in peak season. Cost that you are see are of off season, during season every thing is atleast 30 percent higher on cost...
If you have any experience of sikkim travel, do share that in comments below. I would look forward to hear back from you in this regard.
Thanks

This is second video from my Point of view Sikkim Series. In this video, I will be taking you through the valleys which I had come across on my way from Gangtok to Lachen.
This series is about my recent trip to Sikkim. It was a week long trip and I had covered Gangtok, Lachen, Shri Gurudongmar Lake, Lachung, Katao Valley and Yumthang Valley. I will be covering all the mentioned places in a 4 part series.
Sikkim : Sikkim is a state in northeast India, bordered by Bhutan, Tibet and Nepal. Part of the Himalayas, the area has a dramatic landscape that includes India’s highest mountain, 8,586m Kangchenjunga. Sikkim is also home to glaciers, alpine meadows and thousands of varieties of wildflowers. Steep paths lead to hilltop Buddhist monasteries such as Pemayangtse, which dates to the early 1700s.
Point Of view : This is a web series where I will try to cover different places in India and express my views about the place followed up with suggestions and recommendations and the view of the places from my camera :)

Our travel and food in sikkim was fun, had great time in Gangtok...If you have any experience of Gangtok in terms of sightseeing or food, do share that in comments below…
Travelling cost: Refer to EP 1 description section on how below cost is calculated.
Min cost to reach Gangtok: Rs 500.
Hotel: Rs 1500 per day.
Food Rs 500 one meal
Total cost of Day 0: Rs 2500
Day1 : Cab for local sightseeing for 8 hours Rs 2500.
You may want to take share cab for point to point travelling but then you can't travel to all tourist destinations.
Example from MG marg you can take a share cab for trolley point by paying Rs 20.. but you can't go to Hanuman Tok on share cab as on that route no share cab.,
OLA and uber taxi service not available.
you : can take cab for travelling from one point to another , but that's expensive they charge anything from Rs 200 to Rs 400...
Day 1 :
cab : 2500
food 1000
hotel: 1500
Total cost of Day 1: Rs 5000.
Above cost will apply for Day 0 and Day 1 will be 2500 plus 5000 equals to 7500.
I paid much higher cost because i had exclusive taxi all the time, i stayed in 3 category hotel which was expensive.
As always i love to read your comments and reply back on them… thanks for your time…
