Our family with young kids had such a great time with Sikkim Travel Planner on a week long trip to North Sikkim. Sunil was absolutely professional helping us plan the trip over email, and arranging everything ahead to a tee. Right from the airport pickup, to the moment he dropped us off, he made sure we were as comfortable as we could be. Sunil is knowledgeable and takes pride, as he should, in Sikkim's culture and heritage, and his perspective helped us appreciate things all the more. I would highly recommend Sikkim Travel Planner's services. They do not cut corners, and they are an exemplary example of how the service industry should work.

Ours was a last minute plan n we hadn't booked taxi's in advance. Sunil has been helpful in getting us taxi's not only in Sikkim but also in WB. He is resourceful and on top of his game in the tourism industry. Highly reliable n recommended. I also suffer from motion sickness n Sunil made sure he gave us the right car n dependable drivers who knew my condition. All in all it was a memorable trip and smoothly fell in place. We were taken to some of the most beautiful places in Sikkim. Thanks to all our drivers and Sunil for making this an enriching experience.

We loved Sikkim and had the best time due to the incredible hospitality and care by Sunil and Avinash! Our whole family including two young children loved every minute spent with our expert guides. Over 5 days we were able to sample the beautiful scenery, the food and culture of Sikkim. Our guides were expert drivers and vehicles spacious and comfortable. We are looking forward to coming back soon with friends and family to explore more!

Had a great Experience! The 1st time travelled to North, and nothing would have been better than Sikkim! The Itinerary was planned so well and our travel went smooth. Got the opportunity to visit North Sikkim at the last minute and Sunil Bhaiyya made it possible for us. We experienced snowfall for the 1st time in life at Lachung. Stays were comfortable. Must visit to Sikkim! I would recommend Mount venture treks to all! especially who want to explore places in a unique way. Will be visiting again next year to complete North Sikkim since we could not cover places due to bad weather.

Sunil was our guide and also planned our travels when we were in Gangtok. Even though we stayed only for 3 days, we were able to cover quite a few places and also get an insight of the local culture.. this was much due to sunil’s planning and his connect with the local people. The cars we used were excellent and the drivers who came with us were helpful, friendly and flexible. Due to the terrain and the weather conditions guidance on where to go and what to do is important, or else it can turn out to be risky some times. Sunil made sure that our vacation was well spent. Big thanks to Sunil and his team.

A big thank you to Mr Sunil for making our first sikkim trip so memorable. We had planned a North sikkim trip with him and he made sure that all arrangements right from Vehicle, hotels and food were spot on. The intenary planned was never disturbed or compromised. Further he is an excellent guide who has immense knowledge of the entire state and its culture. When on the road with him be assured he will make the best effort to give you the best experience in the friendliest and most professional manner.

It was wonderful and unforgettable trip in our life, as this is also our first trip after marriage. We choose Sikkim, as it was less in the tourist rush destination and it was undamaged and very much kept green and clean natural beauty. We were so lucky to have the guide cum driver as Mr Sunil who is well qualified very much friendly and good at speaking English (as we are weak in the Hindi language). He was so helpful and give a lot of information about Sikkim, its culture and everything...

We were from Kerala and we planned to visit North Sikkim. We had one of the best tour experience with the guide Mr. Sunil. Sunil recognized our expectations and executed them accordingly. He was such a nice guide who took us to all the important places and explained us the history behind each place. He was very punctual in the entire trip. Mr. Sunil, is a guide who meets and exceeds the standards and professionalism. We will not hesitate to recommand Mr. Sunil for any future travel needs in North Sikkim.

I and my husband were in Sikkim in Dec ’21 for 10 days and were lucky to have Sunil da as our guide during the trip. This was the first trip for us where we felt that the guide was so cool, educated and funny (though we are frequent travelers). He told us about good local food joints and also kept asking about our well-being while we were in North Sikkim which shows how committed he is towards his work and his guests. We covered many areas in North, south, east and west Sikkim during the trip and he gave worthy advice about places to visit and to spend more time at. We recommend his company to all, without a doubt :)

I travelled to Sikkim with my family last year in the month of Nov ’21. It was one of the best trip experience we had. Whole family enjoyed a lot. Special call out of trip is Mr. Sunil and Mr. Jiban who made our travel experience more memorable. Mr. Sunil was so caring and humble throughout the tour. He jelled up with family like a family member. My mother who is 60+ senior citizen was so happy with Mr. Sunil who took extra care of her throughout. Must try trip with this tour company, I am sure you will also experience beauty of nature and best hospitality in class from tour operator Mr. Sunil.

Your time. Your interests. Your Sikkim.

Sikkim has a different rhythm. Some travellers come for the mountains. Some come for the silence. Some come for adventure. Others simply want to escape the everyday. Whatever brings you here, we believe your journey should reflect it.

Why
Bespoke?

Because your holiday shouldn’t begin with a package. It should begin with a conversation, tailored by the people who live where you are travelling.

    Tell us what you love

    The places, the pace and the little moments that make a journey feel like yours.

  2. 02

  3. 03

Questions,
answered.

What’s the difference between booking a trip directly through Bespoke Sikkim and travel agents out of the state?

Bespoke Sikkim is a local tour agency, operating from Sikkim. There will be some savings by booking your trip directly through us. Agents outside the state are commission agents, and you will be paying a commission on top of the rate charged by a local tour operator. When you book through travel agents not based in Sikkim, they still need to work with local operators here, because tourist permits can only be arranged by a local operator.

How is Bespoke Sikkim different from other travel agencies?

Bespoke Sikkim is built around immersive, authentic and personal journeys that stay close to the heart of Sikkim. We design each trip around you, work as a local team on the ground, and keep the experience unfiltered — culture, landscapes and people included — rather than a packaged checklist.

Is it possible to visit the high-altitude destinations with a minor or an aged person?

Yes, it is — with the right planning. Destinations like Tsomgo Lake, Nathula, Yumthang and Gurudongmar sit at very high altitudes, so we design the itinerary with gradual acclimatisation, unhurried travel days and rest built in, which makes a real difference for children and elderly travellers. We do recommend a quick check with your doctor before travelling, especially for anyone with heart, respiratory or blood-pressure conditions, and we carry supplemental oxygen and a first-aid kit on high-altitude drives. A few of the highest points may not be advisable for infants or guests with certain medical conditions; where that is the case, we will tell you in advance and suggest equally beautiful alternatives at a comfortable altitude. Share the ages and any health concerns of your group with us, and we will shape a route that keeps everyone safe and comfortable.

When is the best time to travel in Sikkim?

The best time to visit Sikkim is from March to May (spring) and October to mid-December (autumn), when the weather is pleasant and the skies are clear.

Spring · March to May Best for blooming rhododendrons and colour. Temperatures range from 5°C to 25°C. Ideal for sightseeing, birdwatching and trekking.

Autumn · October to November Best for clear views of the Himalayas and Mount Kanchenjunga. The weather is crisp, cool and stable after the monsoon, and a fine time for local cultural festivals.

Winter · December to February Best for snow-capped landscapes and snowfall in high-altitude areas such as North Sikkim. Temperatures drop below freezing in higher regions, and some roads may close due to snow.

Monsoon · June to September Best avoided. Heavy rainfall often causes landslides and blocked mountain roads.
