Gangtok & East Sikkim in July
The wettest stretch of the year. Landslides close roads for hours or days, and the Teesta runs high along NH10. Tsomgo and Nathu La trips run when the road is clear but often show only cloud. Gangtok's monasteries and museum are quiet and green, and off-season rates are low for those who must travel now.
Local tip: Stay flexible and base yourself in Gangtok, making short trips only when the road reports are clear.
