Pelling, Yuksom & South Sikkim in November
Often the clearest month of the year. Kanchenjunga stands out all morning, the Goecha La trail is busy until mid-month and the villages are harvesting rice and drying cardamom. Nights turn cold. Prices ease after Diwali, making late November a very good value time.
Local tip: Trek in the first half of the month; after that, Dzongri and above get very cold.
