Get in
There are no airports or railways in Sikkim. The only way to enter Sikkim from the rest of India is by road using bus or jeep from West Bengal. Darjeeling and Siliguri both have regular services into the state. You can also take a helicopter from Siliguri to Gangtok.
After 44 years of closure, the Nathu La pass to Tibet, China — a part of the historic Silk Road — opened again in July 2006. At time of writing, the border is not yet open to foreign tourists, but this is expected to change soon and there are plans for a Gangtok-Lhasa bus service.
Get around
Most travel in Sikkim is done by bus or jeep on road. Trekking is also a popular option.
