North Sikkim permits: what you need before booking

North Sikkim (Lachen, Lachung, Yumthang, Gurudongmar) requires protected-area permits. This is normal — but it needs lead time and correct documents.

Documents

Indian nationals typically need photo ID copies for all travelers. Requirements can change — we confirm the latest list when you enquire.

Altitude and road hours add up. Most groups do better with dedicated nights in Lachen and Lachung rather than rushed same-day returns.

Winter access to high viewpoints can be weather-dependent. We share honest notes before you pay, not after you reach Gangtok.

MTG tip: Share IDs at least 7–10 days before departure during peak season.
