Rejuvenated Sikkim: a must-visit monsoon paradise in August

The month of August falls in the midst of the monsoon season in Sikkim, breathing new life into the hilly state. As other parts of India grapple with sultry summer heat, Sikkim transforms into a magical monsoon paradise – lush green valleys, gushing waterfalls cascading down misty mountains, sparkling lakes nestled amid emerald forests.

Though the skies are overcast, August still sees bright sunny spells in Sikkim. The rains rejuvenate the landscapes, allowing nature to burst into full bloom. Wildflowers like primulas, poppies, orchids and rhododendrons paint the hillsides in vivid colours. The earthy petrichor aroma fills the air. Trekking trails get covered in velvety moss. Bird calls echo through the dripping foliage.
