hi duke

weather will be fine. You can go ahead.
But i dont understand why u stay in Lachung for 2 nights ?????
I think it should be 1night in Lachung and 1 night for Lachen.
Dont miss Lachen. Here you can see the Holy Lake Gurudongmar at approx.17000ft.
with surroundings like Leh Ladakh !!!!

Hi NIKON D300
I am a Canon EOS person,so I expect photography should be awesome.Thanks to all the advice,we will have a night in Lachen,so the trip will now be 11 nights.We travel from Hyderabad to Kolkata then on to Jalpaiguri and the adventure begins.I am looking forward to seeing Lake Gurudongmar.My sister had been to Leh Ladakh last year and the pictures were awesome.I was in Alaska last May but expect to be far more awed with this trip.

hi Canon EOS

I can bet this trip will be memorable. But pls dont mix up Alaska with Sikkim !! They are different.....
In Sikkim you will get to see nature at its RAW Mode Pic like your Canon EOS will give u. ha ha ha.....!
Enjoy and do take tons of Pic of Natures / Mountains at its best.

Sikkim will always remain a special place in my heart. Seems like never going back home !!!!

Best Wishes

Hi Nikon D300
How did you store your pics on your trip?RAW files take a lot of space and my camera is 10 megapixel.I have a 100 gig storage device but at the rate I would be shooting that may fill up.
By the way Duke is my pet Boxer

HI, Canon

By the way I am yet to get my new D-300. Very Soon. So I am new to it. Cant help u much. Right now i am using my sweet Demon Nikon F-80. Too Good.

I think a Laptop will help u out with your memory prob...!!!

Hey guys,

I am planning for Sikkim in Mid June with my husband. Going to be there from 14th June to 21st June.

Would I get good weather that time? I am planning for 3 days in pelling (would try to cover south sikkim this time), 3 days north Sikkim and 2 days Gangtok.

Please let me know if this would be an ideal plan.

Thanks in advance!

hi kgemini
thanks for your quick response. I will surely be visiting places you suggested and enjoy my trip. Little rains should be okay, was just wondering if it rains heavy then it might ruin my trip

Dear Sonal,

weather in Sikkim is totally unpredictable.

If you want any kind of help, then pls. PM me

Mid June could be rainy Sonal. I am going to Darjeeling & North and East Sikkim during the 3rd week of May - and I am advised by the locals that there may be mild rains during that period. Weather, in general, is unpredictable but June is generally the onset of monsoons. Suggest have a look at the weather sites.

Wish you a great vacations !
