Motorcycling in Sikkim? Foreigners allowed?

livin-in-india · Jan 28th, 2006, 04:23

And, I am considering sending my motorcycle up to Bengal so I can ride in Sikkim. Any issues with foreigners riding in Sikkim? Are the roads semi-decent, or at least not very bad?

Apart from some restricted areas in North Sikkim...much of the area is open for all.. But you do need to take permits for some areas much like Leh/Ladakh
