Yes: November is one of the best months for West Sikkim

Excellent visibility, fewer crowds than October and colder nights. Treks run until early to mid November before snow closes the high passes. A fine month for photography, monasteries and village homestays, with sharp views of Kangchenjunga from Pelling, Uttarey and Hee Bermiok.
