Indian citizens need no permit to enter Sikkim, but protected areas such as Tsomgo Lake, Nathu La, North Sikkim and the Silk Route do - we arrange them for you with a copy of your photo ID and two passport-size photos. Foreign nationals need a Restricted Area Permit, and some places, such as Nathu La and Gurudongmar Lake, are open to Indian citizens only.
