Honeymoon at May-07

prakathi

hi all,
I'm from bangalore. Planning to hav a HM at 3rd week of May. My preferences are hilly regions. I could see North sikkim as an option. Could you clarify/guide,
1. Will it be the correct season (no rain, pleasant climate..)
2. how crowded the place at May (related to privacy,security...)
3. how good the food for pure vegetarians
4. places to visit, mode of transport, hotels to stay etc

My budget for us is around Rs.20000/couple, starting and ending at Bagdhogra, for 5-6 days.

Any itinerary with approximate cost of travel(which vehicle I can hire, for hilly regions), places to visit, hotels(standard) to stay , if provided its highly appreciated.

waiting for ur write-up,
Prakathi

2)i went there in jan 07 no idea abt may.
3)you can check out the restaurant near MG road "RASOI" for veg food. It is a veg restaurant.
4)1) nathula pass, baba mandir and tsongo lake
2) 10-12 local siteseeing point covering rumtek monestary, rope way and others. You can also do a 5-6 local siteseeing points.
3) North sikkim tour 3D/2N covering lachen, copta valley, thangu, gurudongmar lake, lachung, yumthang, yumsadeoeng and zero point.
Cant help about hotels as i stayed at our guesthouse there.
