Permit is required to visit Nathula pass. The cost is Rs. 5500/- per vehicle. The place is at a height of 14k feet and was cold and windy even in summer. The place has lots of stairs to climb so not advisable for senior citizens. The route to the pass is beautiful with Tsmogo lake on the way. The place is a military area so photography is not allowed. The China border and building are so close that u can put ur hand across a small fence and say that your hand visited China🤗 .

I stayed in this hotel for 2nights in the last week of October during my Sikkim visit and booked by Travel . We were mly greeted by the reception staff and were provided the rooms of our booking choice. Rooms were clean, well maintained, of premium decor and constantly serviced. Our rooms had the city and mountain looking view which looked amazing both during day and in night

Nathula pass is India Tibet Border. Nathula pass is typically a one day itenary from Gangtok. A typical itenary covers tsogmo lake, nathula pass and baba harbhajan temple. One has to take a prior permit to visit this place, so do co-ordinate with your travel operator for permits. Please note that aadhar card is not accepted as a proof for issuance of permit. Nathula pass is two and half hour drive from Gangtok. The earlier one leaves the better, as the climate can be tricky in the second half of the day. There is a village named 15th mile, from were one can buy necessary winter wear, if you are short on the same. The oxygen level in nathula pass is low. Keep this in mind and only undertake as much physical activities as your body permits.

50 km from gangtok city.high altitude place so prepare accordingly. On route changu lake and baba harbhajan mandir are must visit places. During our visit on 25 march there's plenty of snow ❄️ on road also.nathula pass famous for india China border and snow capped Landside. Warm clothes and long boots 👢 are compulsory. Enroute plenty of food options. Permit is must before visit. Both private and sharing taxi options are available. Tsomogo lake / changu lake has excellent view with yak savary.

Got the permits done , Only 4 wheel drive allowed , so got into a shared innova near Tsongmo lake . Rs 5,500 for 3 of us. Breath taking view of the snow clad mountains. Was freezing cold at around 1 degree. Indo china border separated by barbed wires.

Perfect time to reach there is when it’s snowing. We reached 10 days post that and could hardly find snow but it’s really amazing. Thin air and windy. We could see the China border and also the time zone changes to China’s time due to lesser distance

It is a great experience to travel to Sikkim - Gangtok.. It is a must visit to Nathula pass,.. It has been a wonderful experience away from City life... Pleasant stay at Sterling Orange... Great food experience at the resort,,, Travel arrangement from NE taxi was a planned one... It is always good to choose a higher plan to get proper travel arrangements, It started with Indigo flight from Chennai to Bagdogra. Pickup from Bagdogra airport by NE taxi - driver to Gangtok on time... Sight seeing next day and Pleasant visit to Nathula pass day after... We left gangtok to Darjeeling... Experiences in Sikkim are better than Darjeeling...if you love nature ...
