🚨 Important Warning for All Tourists Visiting Sikkim 🚨
Before booking your Sikkim trip, please read this carefully.
Please do NOT book your tour packages with travel agencies that are not based in Sikkim. Many outside operators promote very cheap packages online just to attract tourists. After taking advance payments, they often fail to arrange proper hotels, vehicles, or permits.
During the peak tourist season in Sikkim, it becomes extremely difficult to find hotels, cabs, and permits at the last moment. Many outside agents have no real local connections or management in Sikkim, and when problems happen, tourists are left stranded without proper support.
Unfortunately, when such issues occur, the blame often goes to Sikkim and its tourism industry, even though the fraud or mismanagement was done by outsiders who don’t truly know the region.
That is why I sincerely request all tourists: always book your trip with genuine Sikkim-based travel agencies who know the local system and can properly manage your tour.
✅ Book with trusted local operators
✅ Verify the agency before making payment
❌ Avoid unknown online agents offering unrealistically cheap packages
Please protect your money, your safety, and your travel experience. Support local tourism and help keep Sikkim’s reputation strong.
