Sikkim Tour Packages From Mumbai

Reviewed by Thrillophilia Sikkim Operational Team

Sikkim tour packages from Mumbai start at INR 12,500 for a 4-day trip. Longer 8-day routes can go up to INR 39,000 and usually cover Gangtok, Pelling, Darjeeling, Lachen, Lachung, and Siliguri.

Thrillophilia’s Sikkim trip from Mumbai includes stays, Bagdogra transfers, sightseeing, and route planning that considers mountain travel time. The idea is not just covering more places, but making the trip feel comfortable from start to finish. Many first-time travellers try to add Gangtok, Nathula, Pelling, and North Sikkim into one short trip. On paper, it looks fine, but mountain road travel takes time. Places like Lachen and Lachung involve long driving hours, so the trip feels better when the pacing is realistic.

Shorter trips around Gangtok remain the most practical option for many people travelling from Mumbai. That is why Thrillophilia offers well-paced 4-day itineraries covering Tsomgo Lake, Baba Mandir, Do Drul Chorten, and Namgyal Institute of Tibetology without making the journey feel rushed. If you have more time, our longer 8-day routes combine Gangtok, Pelling, Darjeeling, Lachen, Lachung, and Siliguri at a comfortable pace, balancing sightseeing with realistic travel time. Along the way, you get to experience highlights like the Darjeeling Toy Train, tea tasting at Margaret's Deck, Ravangla Buddha Park, and the scenic beauty of Tsomgo Lake, making the journey just as enjoyable as the destinations themselves.

Most Mumbai travellers reach Sikkim via Bagdogra, not via a direct flight to Sikkim. Right now, nonstop flights from Mumbai to Bagdogra make the journey much easier than people expect. But after landing, the important part is choosing the right route rather than trying to cover everything at once.

Rated 4.6 by travellers for well-designed itineraries, verified stays, and destination experts to guide you, Thrillophilia helps you experience Sikkim at a comfortable pace while making the most of every day of your journey.

How to Reach Sikkim from Mumbai

If you are travelling to Sikkim from Mumbai, Bagdogra Airport is the most practical gateway. Direct flights from Mumbai to Bagdogra are available with IndiGo, SpiceJet, Air India Express, and Akasa Air. IndiGo flights usually take around 2 hours 35 minutes, while Akasa Air flights can take around 3 hours to 3 hours 5 minutes, depending on the schedule.

Mumbai (BOM) to Bagdogra (IXB)

• Flight Time: Around 2 hours 35 minutes to 3 hours 5 minutes
• Airlines: IndiGo, SpiceJet, Air India Express, Akasa Air
• One-way Fare: Approx. INR 5,000 to INR 6,000

One thing many people do not realise is that the Sikkim journey starts properly after landing. From Bagdogra Airport, you still need to drive to Gangtok.

Bagdogra Airport to Gangtok

• Distance: Around 123 kms
• Travel Time: Around 4 hours via NH10
• You can also enter through NJP Railway Station if you prefer trains or want lower travel costs.

Permits for Tsomgo, Nathula and North Sikkim

For a Sikkim trip from Mumbai, Tsomgo Lake, Baba Mandir, Nathula Pass, Lachung, Lachen, Yumthang, and Gurudongmar are all permit-based areas. These are not casual stops you can visit on your own after reaching Gangtok.

You need two passport-size photos and a valid photo ID for Tsomgo and Nathula. A PAN card is not accepted. Nathula permits are given only to Indian nationals, and the pass stays closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Daily permit numbers are also limited, so last-minute planning can still fail even on good-weather days. With Thrillophilia's Sikkim tour packages from Mumbai, these permit formalities are coordinated in advance through authorised local partners, saving you the hassle of arranging them yourself.

North Sikkim routes require more planning, as permits, weather, road conditions, and altitude affect travel, as self-driving is not allowed in these sectors. You must use authorized local vehicles.

Best Time to Visit Sikkim From Mumbai

Spring (March to May)

Temperature Range: 10°C to 22°C

Visit Sikkim in spring for the easiest overall travel season. Flowers bloom across Yumthang, and the weather in Gangtok stays comfortable, thus, routes like Gangtok, Pelling, Tsomgo Lake, and Nathula work very well for family and honeymoon trips to Sikkim. This is one of the best periods for broad sightseeing without extreme cold. The downside is higher tourist demand and a rush for permits on popular routes.

Early Summer / Pre-Monsoon (May to June)

Temperature Range: 15°C to 25°C

You should travel during this time if you mainly want an escape from the Mumbai heat. Mountain weather feels much cooler, and many days still get clear Himalayan views before heavy rain arrives. Gangtok-first and Gangtok + Pelling routes work especially well here. Early summer is also a peak holiday season for family trips to Sikkim, so hotels and permits get crowded.

Autumn (October to November)

Temperature Range: 8°C to 20°C

Pick autumn if clear skies and Kanchenjunga views matter most. The East and West Sikkim routes become especially rewarding during this season because visibility improves after the monsoon. Days stay pleasant, but evenings become colder as winter approaches.

Winter (December to February)

Temperature Range: -5°C to 12°C

Visit in winter if you want snow around Tsomgo, Nathula, Lachung, or Zero Point. Gangtok feels calmer and less crowded. But road closures, extreme cold, and sudden weather-related route changes are common in higher areas.

Monsoon (July to September)

Temperature Range: 15°C to 22°C

You should only travel during the monsoon if your plans are flexible. Sikkim roads are mountain roads, not flat highway routes. Landslides, delays, fog, and poor visibility can seriously affect travel during this period.

Best Places to Visit in Sikkim from Mumbai

Here’s a list of the best places to visit in Sikkim during your trip:

Tsomgo Lake

Located about 40 km from Gangtok, Tsomgo Lake is one of the most visited attractions in Sikkim. Sitting at an altitude of around 12,300 feet, the glacial lake changes dramatically with the seasons. During winter, Tsomgo Lake freezes completely, while spring and summer bring clear blue waters surrounded by blooming rhododendrons. Many travellers also enjoy yak rides and local snacks while soaking in the mountain views, making it a popular stop on most Sikkim packages from Mumbai.

Nathu La Pass

Perched at over 14,000 feet, Nathu La Pass is one of the highest motorable mountain passes in India and connects Sikkim with Tibet. Besides the breathtaking Himalayan views, visitors can witness the India-China border and interact with Indian Army personnel stationed here. Since entry is regulated, travellers need a special permit issued through authorised tour operators. The drive to the Nathu La Pass itself is equally scenic, making it one of the highlights of a Sikkim trip from Mumbai.

Yumthang Valley

Known as the Valley of Flowers, Yumthang is famous for its colourful alpine meadows, snow-covered mountains, and the winding Teesta River. Between March and June, the valley comes alive with hundreds of blooming rhododendrons, while winter transforms it into a snow-covered landscape. Visitors can also explore the nearby Shingba Rhododendron Sanctuary or relax at the natural hot springs, making it one of the most picturesque places to include in your itinerary.

Gurudongmar Lake

Situated at an altitude of over 17,800 feet, Gurudongmar Lake is one of the highest lakes in the world and among North Sikkim's biggest attractions. Surrounded by snow-covered mountains, the lake is known for its crystal-clear water and spiritual significance. The journey to the lake is equally memorable, passing through dramatic Himalayan landscapes and remote villages. Due to the high altitude, travellers should acclimatise properly before visiting.

Yumesamdong (Zero Point)

Often called Zero Point, Yumesamdong is the last motorable destination before the Indo-China border in North Sikkim. Located at an altitude of over 15,000 feet, the region remains covered in snow for much of the year and offers uninterrupted views of the surrounding Himalayan peaks. Since vegetation gradually disappears beyond this point, the landscape feels completely untouched, making a visit to Yumesamdong one of the most unique experiences on a Sikkim trip from Mumbai.

Buddha Park

Located in Ravangla, Buddha Park is one of South Sikkim's most peaceful attractions. The park is best known for its towering 130-foot statue of Lord Buddha, surrounded by landscaped gardens and panoramic mountain views. Visitors can also explore the meditation centre, museum, and walking paths within the complex. It is an ideal place to unwind after exploring the more adventurous parts of the state and is commonly included in longer Sikkim tour packages from Mumbai.

Top Things to Do on a Sikkim Tour

From adventure sports to scenic ropeway rides, a Sikkim trip from Mumbai offers plenty of experiences beyond sightseeing. Below is a list of the top things to do in Sikkim during your trip:

Go Hang Gliding in Yumthang Valley

Hang gliding in Yumthang is one of the most adventurous experiences included in many Sikkim tour packages from Mumbai. Flying above the Valley of Flowers, snow-covered Himalayan peaks, and alpine meadows offers a completely different perspective of North Sikkim. The flight lasts around 20–30 minutes and is conducted under the supervision of trained instructors. Most take-off points are located at altitudes of around 12,000 feet, making it one of the highest adventure activities in the region.

Experience White-Water Rafting on the Teesta River

The Teesta River is one of the most popular rafting destinations in Northeast India. Rafting stretches feature Grade II to Grade IV rapids, making the activity suitable for both beginners and experienced rafters. Depending on the route selected, rafting sessions usually last between one and three hours while passing through forested valleys, rocky gorges, and mountain landscapes. The best season for rafting is generally between October and April.

Trek to Kanchenjunga Base Camp

The Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek is one of India's most rewarding high-altitude treks. Starting from Yuksom, the route covers approximately 160 km over multiple days, passing through rhododendron forests, alpine meadows, traditional villages, and remote Himalayan landscapes before reaching viewpoints facing Mount Kanchenjunga, the world's third-highest peak. Sikkim packages from Mumbai with longer itineraries make it easier to combine this multi-day trek with sightseeing in Gangtok or West Sikkim before or after the expedition.

Try Paragliding in Gangtok

Paragliding is among the most popular adventure activities in Gangtok. Tandem flights are conducted by trained pilots, allowing even first-time flyers to enjoy the experience safely. Depending on the take-off point, flights offer aerial views of Gangtok town, surrounding valleys, monasteries, and, on clear days, distant views of the Kanchenjunga range. Flight durations generally range from 10 to 20 minutes.

Take the Gangtok Ropeway Ride

The Gangtok Ropeway connects Deorali with Tashiling and offers one of the best aerial views of the city. The cable car ride takes around 15 to 20 minutes and passes over colourful neighbourhoods, valleys, monasteries, and forested hillsides. On clear days, travellers can also catch views of Mt. Kanchenjunga from the cabins. A Sikkim trip from Mumbai often begins in Gangtok, making the ropeway one of the easiest activities to enjoy during the first day or two before travelling towards North or West Sikkim.
