Month by month
District by district: the weather, where we would go and what to watch for on the roads.
June is a shoulder or off month across most of Sikkim. Avoid or plan carefully for North Sikkim, West Sikkim, South Sikkim, Pakyong and the Silk Route, Soreng. Weather and road status change year to year: check current status before you travel.
Gangtok 16 to 22 °C, heavy rain; slides on NH10
The monsoon arrives, usually in the first half of the month. NH10 from Siliguri closes at times after landslides, mountain views vanish, and leeches appear on forest walks.

East Sikkim in JuneLachung 10 to 19 °C, heavy rain; slides common
The monsoon arrives. Yumthang turns green with primulas and wildflowers, but landslides close the North Sikkim Highway often, sometimes for days, and many operators stop selling Lachen.

South Sikkim in JuneZuluk 9 to 17 °C, heavy rain; Rongli 20 to 30 °C
The monsoon arrives around the second week of June. Rain is heavy, fog sits on the loops, and slides cut NH10 and the Rongli–Zuluk road often, sometimes for days. Views of the snow peaks are rare. The lower villages are lush and quiet, and Aritar and Rolep still work for …

Pakyong and the Silk Route in JuneRinchenpong 17 to 25 °C; heavy rain most days
The monsoon sets in. Heavy rain, leeches on forest trails and cloud that hides Kangchenjunga for days at a time make June a poor month for sightseeing. Landslides can close roads, including NH10 along the Teesta. The farms are green and paddy planting begins in the lower valleys, but we …
