Gangtok & East Sikkim in June
The monsoon arrives in early to mid June. Views close in, landslides start on NH10 and the Silk Route, and permit trips are cancelled whenever roads slip. Saga Dawa sometimes falls in June. Gangtok itself stays pleasant on dry spells, and rooms get cheaper. We would not plan a first trip for this month.
Local tip: Allow a buffer day before any train or flight, because NH10 can shut at short notice; check current status before you travel.
