📋 Essential Permits & Travel Tips

  • Indian Citizens: Require ILP for North Sikkim & Nathula. Apply online or through registered agents.
  • Foreign Nationals: Need PAP + restricted area permits. Process takes 2–4 working days.
  • Altitude Prep: Gangtok (~1,650m), Tsomgo (~3,753m), Gurudongmar (~5,180m). Hydrate well, avoid alcohol on day one, and carry basic motion-sickness & cold-weather meds.
  • Connectivity: Jio/Airtel work well in Darjeeling & Gangtok. Network drops in remote North Sikkim zones.
  • Cash & ATMs: Carry ₹3,000–5,000 per person for remote areas. UPI works in towns but not at high passes.
