Dear madam, i loved your video...juat wanted to know if mayfair gangtok is a good LOCATION to stay at.
M.g. road in Gangtok is the central location, mayfair is around 15kms out of town.
@@LimeTrails ok...thanks ma'am!😊👍🏻
What about gangtok to Darjeeling for self drive
Yes you can easily self-drive from Gangtok to Darjeeling via Melli. It's around 100 kms and will take 3.5 hrs.
how did you got the zoomcar service? can you share the tarrif plans?
You can book it from the zoomcar app or website but it works out expensive. We also do self-drive car bookings from Siliguri. Let me know if you want to book through us.
@@LimeTrails thanks for the info, also please share me details of your in mail id: planshu92@outlook.com including your contact details so that once my trip plan is confirmed i will contact you.
What sort of permits do we need to take our own car ?? What do the y check at the check posts ?? I'm going tomorrow so i need help as soon as possible
We did not require any permit from Siliguri till Gangtok and other places we drove to like Temi tea garden, Namchi, Ravangla, Pelling etc., you don't need any permits for driving within main areas of Sikkim. But you will need a permit for visiting the protected/ restricted areas along the border like Nathula Pass, Tsomo lake etc.
Always wanted to plan a Sikkim trip. So very helpful video 👍
Sikkim is very beautiful...do visit
Very informative video!
In which month did you visit?
This was in August. Thanks so much for watching!
How much did zoom car chaarge?
The charges are based on the number of days and the car model you select...we paid around Rs 8000/- for a week for Swift.
I am planning to be there at bagdogra on 21st sep let me know how I manage my tour from bagdogra to Darjeeling and then to gangtok. Where I will get selfdriven car. And how much stay at Darjeeling where to stay at budget accomodation. Then to gangtok.
Itinerary: Siliguri (Bagdogra) - Kalimpong - Gangtok - Ravangla - Pelling - Namchi - Darjeeling - Siliguri (Bagdogra)
Self drive car rental contact numbers in Siliguri are given in the description below the video. We rented our car from Amit in Siliguri.
There are many budget stay options in Gangtok. We stayed at Hotel Tashi Delek. It has nice rooms, car park, good views and walking distance from MG road.
We recommend 2-3 nights in Gangtok, 2 nights in Darjeeling, 1 night in Pelling.
Thanks for information. Please let me know hotel or homestay in Gangtok and Darjeeling. What will be room rent per day. Suggest me the hotel or homestay.
Is the journey more of ghats or simple roads if ghats then are they safe
Barely any ghats...roads are good across Sikkim and absolutely safe except for the Pelling to Namchi road via Legship which was a terrible dirt track and landslide prone zone. But there is an alternate route that you can take from Pelling.
@@LimeTrails thank u so much luv your work♥️🤗
Nice video
Thank you
How much time taken to reach Gangtok from Bagdogra
Its around 120 kms, 4.5 hrs drive

Hi.. Its a great informative video..im sure u can help me in following
How do u book zoom car in advance for self driven car.. And also do they provide car at the bagdogra airport...
Hi Vijayant, you can book a zoom car in advance through their website - www.zoomcar.com...select the pickup location as bagdogra airport.
Thanks for watching my video and do Subscribe and click the bell sign for all my new uploads.

Interested tour 😊
[CO] Matt Epicness Of Gaming - Thanks a ton!
@@LimeTrails your welcome 😊
Hi Priya, thanks for the nice video.
One favour pls can we drive zoom car all over Sikkim with sight seeing, as some blogs state that zoom car commercial yellow plate cars are not allowed for sight seeing in sikkim union issue, we are planning for gangtok, pelling, namchi, Darjeeling with zoom car.
Thanks in advance
Hi Arihant, we drove without any issues at all from Siliguri to Gangtok, Temi tea garden, Namchi, Pelling and back to Siliguri. If you see in the video, our zoom car has a black number plate. Union guys probably have a rule against commercial cabs from outside, not with Self driven cars.
@@LimeTrails Hi thanks Priya , for instant reply, is parking an issue when you are sight seeing. With zoom car like Hanuman tok, ganesh tok etc..
There are parking areas at all the sightseeing points. You will have no trouble parking your car anywhere except for M.G.Road. Don't take your car there, walk down if close by.
@@LimeTrails thanks a ton for ur valuable feedback! You will save many people by this.
It's always a pleasure assisting other travelers 🙂
From where I can get the rental car and what is the rent
Car rental details are mentioned in the description box below the video.
Good video on Sikkim road trip. Planned to visit Sikkim in June'19 mid. How was the climate in North sikkim in June mid? Is it risk due to rains?
Thank you so much for watching and appreciating. Climate is good around mid-june. There is a risk of landslides mainly between July-Sep if there is heavy rain.
@@LimeTrails Can we see snow at Yumthang/Zero point/Nathula in mid-june?
@@mohanr971 No there wont be much snow in june in these places.
Will they give the car at airport.. Or i need to go to some pick up point... Also ill be landing at 1310 hrs.. Is it advisable to procees for gangtok immediately or do i need to take a night offf at bagdogra...
While booking select the pick up location as bagdogra airport and they will give you the car there...the list of pick up points is mentioned on the booking page in their website. You can also call their siliguri office and reconfirm. From bagdogra, it is a 4 and half hour drive to gangtok. If you leave by 2pm, you will reach by 6.30-7 pm. The road is good. Book your Gangtok hotel in advance...make the hotel provides free parking.
@@LimeTrailsmadam do u have any contact number of cab at bagdodra
Thank u for video usefull to plan our trip. Which month was this trip?!
This was in July.
How are roads if one starts at evening time from Bagdogra to Gangtok?Is it safe to drive during night on those roads?
Yes it should be safe to drive post sunset. The road is in good condition with villages along the route.
@@LimeTrails Thank you for the reply.Zoom cars do have a policy of keeping some money as refundable deposit.Do they return it timely?Also are the cars petrol or diesel versions?
+Raja Sahoo Yes they return the deposit after deductions, if any. The day we returned to siliguri it was raining, so they deducted Rs 1000 as the car was a little muddy from outside. Both are available, you can see the options on their website.
As usual,excellent Priya ji. You are compelling me to add now, dash of lime in my life but having a problem of acidity so enjoying your travelogues because the way you explain gives me the feeling of being there.Any way which camera you use for such a nice cinematography.What is the next surprise?
Thanks so much sunil ji. Its always a pleasure to read your comments. A lot of effort goes into shooting and editing a video and its great to know you are enjoying them! I have been using a Nikon DSLR but have just got 2 new cameras...will have a video on that too soon!
Nice...where did you book the self drive from?
Zoomcar in Siliguri.
Hi Priya, thanks for sharing awesome trip!!
I have also planned same trip as yours.
I am sure you can guide me for selfdrive car. Do we need to take interstate permit from RTO check post while going to Gangtok in ZoomCar. Zoomcar site shows permit duration as 1 day for Sikkim.
Hi Satish, no permit is required for Sikkim.
@@LimeTrails Grate!! Thank You :)
nice
Thanks 🙂
Thanks for info. Can we hire motorcycle from bagdogra?
Not sure of that as we were looking out for car rentals but bike rentals should also be available in Siliguri or Gangtok. Try google search.
Madame is month Mai v self-drive kr k Darjeeling Jane wala hu par waha k rode par gadi chalane ka mera experience nahi hai ...is Lia thoda dar lag rha hai
Road kafi ache hai...darne wali koi baat nahi. Enjoy your drive.
Is this also the ancient route to Chumbi valley in Tibet from Siliguri?
Anyway, it is a breathtaking drive. I love it 😊
That's correct...this is the ancient route to chumbi valley, also known as the silk route. Chumbi valley is at the intersection of India (Sikkim), Bhutan and China, located near the Nathula Pass. Thanks so much for watching.
@@LimeTrails
Thank you so much for a quick rely. India's northeastern region is the most mighty, most beautiful landscape on Earth. No wonder China lusts to steal it. India has to defend this region at all cost.
Regards from USA
The Indian army is doing a great job in keeping the trespassers away. Looks like you have visited this region. Which part of the US are you from?
@@LimeTrails
No. I've not yet set foot to India. But I've read and watched a lot of youtube videos about India generally, and specifically Gangtok Sikkim. The motivation is two of my spiritual teachers were from that part of the world. One came from Chumbi valley in Tibet and one from Gangtok (his original place is Shigatshe near Lhasa in Tibet). Both of them are no longer in this world. But I want to have a feel of the environment in which they had lived and travel between Tibet and Bodhgaya. That is why I am fond of watching videos about the routes between West Bangal and Gangtok/Chumbi valley.
I am in Houston, Texas😊
Thanks for sharing that with me...your interest and efforts to discover the land of your spiritual gurus is commendable. I was quite intrigued by all the monasteries I visited while driving around Sikkim. I recently returned from a roadtrip to Ladakh and was fortunate to spend some time at the Thiksey monastery enroute to my hometown manali. I am currently reading through the literature on Buddhism I picked up from there and find it extremely interesting.
Nice video...good information.
I am planning to bike Bagdogra to Gantok October end,are the roads decent.
Is 4 - 4 1/2 hrs enough time to cover?
Thanks
Hi and firstly thanks! The road is good from Bagdogra to Gangtok and should take around 4 1/2 hrs on a bike. Road from Gangtok to Namchi and Pelling is also pretty ok if you plan to go that side. It will start getting cold by Oct end so be geared up. Have a great trip.
