How to Reach Sikkim from Delhi
The most convenient way to reach Sikkim from Delhi is by flight. Travellers can also reach New Jalpaiguri Railway Station (NJP) by train and continue to Gangtok by road.

- Connecting Flights: Usually 4–6 hours, depending on the layover

Our Recommendation: Delhi has excellent train connectivity to New Jalpaiguri. However, if you're planning a short 5–7 day holiday, flying to Bagdogra Airport (IXB) is the better option as it saves nearly a full day of travel.
By Road
Travelling from Delhi to Sikkim by road is a great option for road trip enthusiasts, but it requires long hours of driving. The distance from Delhi to Gangtok is approximately 1,500–1,600 km, and the journey usually takes around 28–32 hours, depending on the route, traffic, and road conditions.

- Route: Delhi → Uttar Pradesh → Bihar → West Bengal → Siliguri → Gangtok
Our Recommendation: If you're planning a regular Sikkim holiday, flying to Bagdogra Airport (IXB) and then taking a 4–5 hour taxi to Gangtok is the most convenient option. Driving is best suited for travellers planning an extended road trip across multiple states.
Best Time to Visit Sikkim from Delhi
The best time to visit Sikkim depends on the kind of holiday you're planning. Here's what each season offers:
March to May (Spring Season) – Best Overall Time to Visit
Pleasant weather, blooming rhododendrons and orchids, and clear mountain views make this the best season for sightseeing, honeymoon trips, family vacations, and photography.
October to February (Winter Season) – Best for Snowfall
The best time to experience snowfall is at Tsomgo Lake, Nathula Pass, Lachung, Yumthang Valley, and Zero Point. Winter also offers crystal-clear Himalayan views and is a popular season for honeymoon trips.
June to September (Monsoon Season) – Best for Green Landscapes
Sikkim turns lush green during the monsoon, with fewer tourists and attractive hotel deals. However, occasional landslides and road delays are possible, so it's best to travel with an experienced local tour operator.
