For travellers from Kerala who enjoy green landscapes and pleasant hill destinations, Sikkim offers a completely different mountain experience. Here, the scenery changes from tropical greenery to snow-covered Himalayan peaks, high-altitude lakes, pine forests and traditional Buddhist settlements. Travelling from Kerala to Sikkim usually involves a flight to Bagdogra Airport, either directly when available or through a connecting city, followed by a road journey to Gangtok.

A Sikkim holiday package from Kerala can be planned to combine nature, local culture and scenic exploration. You can spend time walking along Gangtok's MG Marg, visit Rumtek Monastery to understand Sikkim's Buddhist heritage, admire the changing colours of Tsomgo Lake or explore the mountain surroundings of Lachung and Yumthang Valley. Travellers interested in quieter destinations can also include Pelling, known for its monasteries and views of the Kanchenjunga mountain range. Each destination offers a different perspective of Sikkim, making it suitable for families, couples and nature enthusiasts.
