To be honest, there is no standard or one line answer to this question. Why? Because the best time to visit any place will be different for everyone and will heavily depend on several factors like their preference, personal choices, mode of commute and budget. The same rule applies to Gangtok as well. When should you visit Gangtok will entirely depend on your reason to visit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/gangtok-travel-guide-itinerary\/\">How to Plan your Trip to Gangtok &#8211; A Complete Travel Guide<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With that being said, there is a certain time of the year when every tourist destination draws the maximum number of tourists. Weather is usually the driving factor behind it. In terms of hill stations, this time is usually the spring and summer months (and also winter in some cases). Going by that theory, the months of April to June will be the best time to visit Gangtok. But will that suit you as well?

Gangtok<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To better understand the best time to visit Gangtok; let us first take a look at how the weather trends here. Because of its high altitude, this entire region experiences a mild and temperate climate all year long. The temperature here ranges from an average maximum of 22 \u00b0C (72 \u00b0F) in summer to an average minimum of 4 \u00b0C (39 \u00b0F) in winter. The year is divided into five seasons; summer, monsoons, autumn, winter, and spring.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gangtok_in_Winter\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Gangtok in Winter<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The winter season in Gangtok lasts from December to early March. Cold starts to settle in by the end of October and the upper regions receive their first spell of snow in November. The weather from December to February gets extremely cold with the average temperature hovering between 4 \u00b0C (39 \u00b0F) and 7 \u00b0C (45 \u00b0F) at this time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It does not snow in the main Gangtok town, or you can say that it will be extremely rare if it did. In recent times, Gangtok has only received snow in 2004, 2005 and 2011 and that too just one light spell. Temperature dropping below freezing point too is very rare. But the high altitude places like Nathu La pass, Tsomgo Lake receive heavy snow and the roads get closed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But what you should know is that during this time, the weather can be very unpredictable and can change without warning. One instance will be the sun shining bright and in a matter of minutes, it will turn into white blankets of mist and fog all around.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/gangtok-2-1.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-22693 size-full\" title=\"snowfall around gangtok\" src=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/gangtok-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"snowfall around gangtok\" width=\"800\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/gangtok-2-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/gangtok-2-1-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/gangtok-2-1-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/gangtok-2-1-780x516.jpg 780w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/gangtok-2-1-585x388.jpg 585w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/gangtok-2-1-263x175.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gangtok_in_Spring_Season\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Gangtok in Spring Season<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Spring season here lasts from late March to April and is a great time to be in Gangtok. The weather will still be cold but more of a pleasant cold rather than a harsh one. Days will be mildly warm with clear and sunny skies. This is the best time to get clear views of Mt. Kangchenjunga and other snow-capped peaks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you want to indulge in some adventure activities like rafting, trekking, camping, and paragliding, then these months will suit you just fine. The average temperature at this time will range between 10 \u00b0C to 15 \u00b0C.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/sightseeing-in-gangtok-best-places-to-visit-in-gangtok\/\">What to See in Gangtok?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gangtok_in_Summer_Season\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Gangtok in Summer Season<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Visiting Gangtok in summer has its own pros and cons. The average temperate at this time will range between 20\u00b0C to 25\u00b0C. The weather will be very pleasant with warm days and pleasantly cool nights. Activities like trekking, camping, and rafting will be at full swing, especially in the month of June, and the tourist season will be at its peak.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But with summer vacations on in the schools, this is also the time when a lot of families plan their vacation here. There will be a lot of tourists in these months and the town will feel a little crowded. This is also the time when hotel fares and taxi rates will be touching the sky.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Another catch is that by May end or early June, the region will start to experience pre-monsoon showers. Even in June, there can be short spells of rain anytime in the day.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gangtok_during_Monsoon\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Gangtok during Monsoon<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is officially the worst time to plan a visit to Gangtok. Monsoon here lasts well until September with July recording the highest amount of rainfall. There will be intense torrential rains and resulting landslides which will block the roads leading in and out of Gangtok. Sometimes it can rain all day long keeping you indoors in the hotel and ruin your plans for the day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On the upside though, this is the time when the valleys of Sikkim truly come to life. Mountains will get covered under a carpet of green. The scenery at this time truly is magical and mesmerizing. If you are into photography and are ready to risk the rain, then this is the time when you should be in Gangtok.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Another upside is that since there will not be a lot of tourists around, hotel fares and taxi charges too will drop.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/gangtok-1-1.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-22692 size-full\" title=\"best time to visit gangtok\" src=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/gangtok-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"best time to visit gangtok\" width=\"800\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/gangtok-1-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/gangtok-1-1-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/gangtok-1-1-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/gangtok-1-1-780x516.jpg 780w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/gangtok-1-1-585x388.jpg 585w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/gangtok-1-1-263x175.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gangtok_in_Autumn\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Gangtok in Autumn<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Autumn arrives in October and turns the trees and valleys to a magical golden. Monsoon will be all gone and the weather will turn to a pleasant cold in October. This is another good time to plan a trip if you want to see the orange color in the trees and landscape. The average temperature at this time will range between 10 \u00b0C to 25 \u00b0C.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The scenery however in November turns a bit dull and dry and it is overall a bad time to visit. Weather will start turning very cold and dry. On the plus side though, skies will be clear and you will be able to views the surrounding peaks better.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/dharamshala\/\">How to Plan a Visit to Dharamshala<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_is_the_best_time_to_visit_Gangtok\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">When is the best time to visit Gangtok?<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Now based on the information above, I think it is safe to say that the months of March, April, May, and October are the best time to visit Gangtok. These are the months that will suit the majority of the tourists. But if you are not fond of the crowd and like to visit less crowded places, then you may want to avoid a trip at this time, especially in April and May. This is also a bad time to visit if you were on a budget trip.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you are not too fond of the rain or wet weather, then you must not visit between July to September. But If you are on a budget, then a trip at this time will suit your pocket the best. This is also the time when Gangtok is least crowded.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to plan a visit to Nathu La and Lake Tsomgo, then you must not visit in winters because the roads to both these places will be closed at this time.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_time_to_visit_Gangtok_for_Snowfall\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Best time to visit Gangtok for Snowfall<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The months of January and February are the best time to visit Gangtok for snow. As I previously mentioned, it does not snow in the main town so you will have to plan a visit to the upper reaches to see some snow on the ground.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you were lucky, you may even catch a light snowfall in Gangtok itself but do not really count on it much. January will be the best time to visit Gangtok to see snowfall; and by that, I mean to catch a live snowfall.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_time_to_Visit_Gangtok_with_Family\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Best time to Visit Gangtok with Family<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">April, May, and October is the best time to visit Gangtok with family.

Though it will be very cold but will really add to that romantic setting. There will not also be too many people to make the town feel crowded. The next best time for honeymoon in Gangtok would be April and October.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/mcleodganj-travel-guide\/\">Mcleodganj \u2013 A Comprehensive Travel Guide and Itinerary<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Temperature_in_Gangtok\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Temperature in Gangtok<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Below is a breakdown of how the temperature in Gangtok trends.
