Is North Sikkim Open for Tourists in 2026? Complete Travel Guide & Tips
If you are looking for a North Sikkim tour package from Kolkata or NJP, you might have questions about current road conditions, permit requirements, and the best places to visit. While Lachen is currently restricted for road repairs, the breathtaking region of Lachung, Yumthang Valley of Flowers, Zero Point, and Tsomgo Lake is 100% open, safe, and welcoming tourists.
At Bholanath Tour & Travels — recognized as the best tour and travels company in Kolkata — we arrange complete NJP-to-NJP and Kolkata-to-Kolkata customized Sikkim packages with private cabs, permits, hotel stays, and authentic Bengali meals.
Why the 2-Night Lachung Circuit is ideal for Families & Groups
Instead of rushing between multiple high-altitude stops, staying 2 Nights in Lachung (8,600 ft) provides a comfortable, relaxed mountain experience:
Snow & Valley of Flowers: Yumthang Valley (11,800 ft) and Zero Point (Yumesamdong at 15,300 ft) offer snowscapes in winter and vibrant rhododendron flowers in spring.
Glacial Lakes & Border Mandir: Excursions to Tsomgo (Changu) Lake (12,400 ft), Baba Harbhajan Singh Temple (13,200 ft), and optional Nathula Pass.
Hassle-Free Road Travel: Enjoy scenic drives along the Teesta River, Seven Sisters Waterfalls, and Bhim Nala Falls without hotel-shifting stress every day.

Permit & Entry Requirements for North Sikkim
North Sikkim is a protected border zone bordering China, making Inner Line Permits (PAP) mandatory for all travelers:

- Passport Photos: Carry 4 to 6 recent passport-size photographs per person.
- Pre-Arranged Logistics: Individual permits cannot be obtained on arrival at checkposts. Our team at Bholanath Tour & Travels handles all permits, vehicle registrations, and checkpost clearances for you before departure.
