Hi Kumar,
been to North Sikkim last yr,I don't think u can reach Gurudangmar in mid nov,the one and only road leading to lake may get closed beyond Thangu. In oct last yr we had snow in Lachung,Yumthang and in Katao.But our guide told us from nov mid they dont take any tourist for Gurudangmar.So u may can go upto Lachen  onlyThe permits will be obtain by ur guide only cause u cant travel North Sikkim alone as for security reason  .To get the permit u need ur Voter ID card/Passport.The travel agent at Gangtok will do the rest,Here is few shots of last yr oct enroute to north sikkim and one with snow was shoot at katao     |

U need to take a car from gangtok to g.lake,if u want to visit only gurudangmar,I think it will not cost more than 5k p/p.do some bergaining at gangtok u may have a gr8 deal cause it is more or less off season,at the time u want to visit.
