Winter in Sikkim and Darjeeling is from Mid-november Till March, and At this Time of the Year the Climate is Dry and Sunny for the Most Part, Temperatures Peaking At Around 15c. in the Daytime and Falling Below Zero At Night. the Monsoon Usually Arrives in Mid-june, with Light Rain Falling Mainly in the Afternoons and Evenings. At the End of September, After the Last of the Big Rains, Autumn Suddenly Arrives, and is a Magnificent Season for Trekking Until November.

precautions
sikkim and Darjeeling are One of the Safest Destinations in the World However You Should Still Exercise Caution When Visiting.
