Why Sikkim in Winters is a Great Idea – Winter Wonderland

“Let’s go to Bhutan!”, said my husband, “No, let’s go to Thailand!”, I said.

We were confused where to go for a week during winters this year. 

“Let’s go to Sikkim!! It will be our hat-trick trip to the Himalayas!!!” said Deepak beaming with excitement, the earlier ones being Leh-Ladakh and Kinnaur-Spiti.

It turned out to be such an amazing decision to visit Sikkim in winters! Winters in Sikkim start from November and stay until March. Sikkim is a beautiful place, and more so, during winters, with its icy-cold weather and clear skies!
