Sikkim is experiencing a heavy tourist footfall this winter, with most hotels sold out in Lachung, North Sikkim. East Sikkim’s Nathula and Zuluk have also witnessed a heavy tourist rush this winter season since 22nd December. Bike Adventure Tourism has significantly increased compared to last year, and Sikkim is facing a shortage of bikes. Gangtok and Pelling have also seen a massive surge in hotel bookings, but North Sikkim is fully booked due to the compulsory two-night, one-day booking system.
