Sikkim's snow peaks, quiet monasteries, cosy mountain hotels and views of Kanchenjunga make it a beautiful and peaceful honeymoon destination. It is less crowded than many hill stations and offers both romance and adventure.
Best Time for a Sikkim Honeymoon
- March–May: pleasant weather and blooming rhododendrons.
- October–December: clear skies and the best mountain views.
- January–February: snow for couples who love winter (some high roads may close).
- June–September: monsoon – best avoided because of landslides.
