East Sikkim in April

Yes: April is one of the best months for East Sikkim

Rhododendron season on the road to Tsomgo, with red and pink flowers in Kyongnosla from late April. Days are mild in Gangtok and the high road is usually open. Afternoon showers and cloud become more frequent. A good month for Martam and Sang walks before the rains.
