QUICK FACTS NEED TO KNOW BEFORE BOOKING SILK ROUTE TOUR PACKAGES FROM KOLKATA

• The Silk Route is a remote yet pristine Sikkim offbeat destination, offering a unique experience but with limited modern facilities and amenities. Some travelers may have high expectations regarding food, facilities, and hotel rooms in this area. So, it's important to understand a few basic facts before you proceed with your Silk Route tour package booking from Kolkata.

• When you book a Silk Route package tour from Kolkata, don't expect modern amenities. Most of the destinations along the route are remote villages, far from urban facilities. Basic facilities like western toilets, running water, hot meals (usually egg curry and local vegetables) are available, but luxuries like TV, internet, geysers, or mineral water are not.  

• Staying in Nathang Valley is not advisable for children or elderly travelers. Nathang, located at an altitude of 13,200 ft, is popular among Silk Route travelers and often referred to as the "Ladakh of East India" due to its similarity to Leh Ladakh. However, due to the extreme altitude and cold, travelers may experience dizziness, headaches, and nausea. Temperatures can drop below freezing at night. We recommend that elderly travelers only visit Nathang during the day and return to a lower altitude after a short visit. Carrying a portable oxygen cylinder for safety is also advised.  

• For your Silk Route tour packages from Kolkata, always carry original and photocopies of your ID proofs (such as voter ID, passport, or driver's license), along with at least two passport-sized photos. If you’re traveling with children, remember to carry their birth certificates or school IDs.  

• During your Silk Route tour from Kolkata, it's important to carry essential supplies for emergencies. Pack dry fruits, nuts, chocolates, hot coffee, ginger cubes, and biscuits. These come in handy in case of roadblocks, landslides, or sudden weather changes. It's also a good idea to carry a portable oxygen cylinder and oxygen meter. In case of a serious emergency, the Indian Army and Border Roads Organisation (BRO) are always available to assist. Additionally, for high-altitude locations like Gnathang Valley, Elephant Lake, and Kupup, carry items like camphor, chocolates, and ginger cubes to help with breathing. If you’re on prescribed medication, don’t forget to bring it along.  

• Make sure to pack a first aid kit with medicine for fever, cold, cough, headaches, stomach issues, and general pain relief (such as paracetamol, ointment, band-aids, and Vaseline). Woolen clothes, gloves, hats, and wind-resistant gear are essential for high-altitude regions where sub-zero temperatures may occur. Carry enough cash in small denominations, as ATMs are unavailable after Rongli. Withdraw cash from NJP or Bagdogra before heading to the higher altitudes, as ATM links may fail in remote areas. GST will also be applicable to your Silk Route tour package cost.  

• Bikers should ensure they have all necessary documents for their vehicles. Failure to provide valid papers can result in difficulties during your Silk Route tour. Additionally, we recommend avoiding alcohol at high altitudes, but if you still wish to bring your own, make sure to carry your preferred brand with you, as options may be limited in remote areas. If you visit lower-altitude areas like Sillerygaon, Ramdhura, or Rongpokhola, be cautious of leeches. Lastly, remember that Sikkim is a plastic-free state, so please avoid littering. 

• Above all, enjoy your Silk Route tour packages with Adorable vacation. Don’t worry too much about what you have or haven't brought—just relax and soak in the beauty of this incredible journey.  

WHEN TO EXPERIENCE SNOW DURING SILK ROUTE PACKAGE TOUR FROM KOLKATA

Many Bengali tourists choose this time to plan their trips, as the snowfall season adds a magical touch to the region. Temperatures during this period can range from -5°C to 7°C, creating a beautiful winter landscape with snow-capped mountains and stunning snowy views.

If you're thinking about going on a Sikkim offbeat trip with a Silk Route package tour from Kolkata booked from Adorable vacation - No1 Silk Route Tour Company, choosing the right time for your journey is important to ensure you have a memorable experience. Let’s look at the best times to book your Silk Route tour packages, based on the seasons of summer, monsoon, autumn, and winter.  

SUMMER [MARCH TO JUNE] 

Summer is a great time to book a Silk Route package tour from Kolkata, especially if you're interested in Sikkim offbeat packages. The weather is warm and pleasant, which makes it perfect for exploring attractions like Zuluk Zigzag and Aritar Lake. However, be prepared for rising temperatures, so remember to carry sunscreen, hats, and water. Make sure children and elderly travelers stay hydrated and take breaks to adjust to the altitude to avoid sickness.  

MONSOON [JULY TO SEPTEMBER] 

While the monsoon season brings lush greenery, it also comes with challenges for Silk Route tour packages due to the risk of landslides. However, if you enjoy an offbeat and adventurous experience, the monsoon can still be interesting. Be sure to check the road conditions before starting your journey, and pack rain gear and motion sickness medication. Take extra care with altitude issues, particularly for children and elderly travelers.  

AUTUMN [OCTOBER TO NOVEMBER] 

Autumn is one of the best times to book a Silk Route tour package, as it offers clear skies and vibrant landscapes, perfect for exploring places like Nathang Valley, Kupup Lake, and Baba Mandir. This season is popular for Sikkim offbeat trips. Be sure to pack warm clothing for the cooler temperatures, and make a gradual ascent to prevent altitude sickness, especially for children and elderly travelers.  

WINTER [DECEMBER TO FEBRUARY] 

If you're looking for a magical winter experience, booking a Silk Route package tour from Kolkata during winter is the perfect choice. You can witness snowfall in Nathang Valley and enjoy the region's stunning beauty. However, winter travel requires extra caution due to icy roads and very cold temperatures. Be sure to pack warm clothing and take precautions against frostbite. For the safety and comfort of children and elderly travelers, keep them warm and consult healthcare professionals about altitude-related concerns.  

In conclusion, the best time to book a Silk Route package tour from Kolkata depends on your preferences and the weather conditions you’re most comfortable with. Whether you're opting for a Sikkim offbeat package or a traditional Silk Route tour, each season offers something unique. With proper planning and precautions, your Silk Route journey will be an unforgettable adventure.
