It Rains Almost Everyday in Gangtok, Sikkim

Posted on January 15, 2007

MG Road, Gangtok, after a Shower: It Rains Almost Every Day

I was quite apprehensive about going to Sikkim in December because I do not enjoy cold weather. Well, the lower regions like Gangtok and Pelling were not that cold for me after I wrapped myself up in a thick jacket. However, in Gangtok, almost everyday it would rain, or I should say it drizzles almost everyday. If was drizzling we would still go out but once or twice the rain forced us to stay indoors for a couple of hours. Maybe, that is why Sikkim is so green.

    hmmm, its one thing to have rains in monsoons and another to have it daily. must be very annoying. Did you consider this fact before thinking of retiring here? ^_^

    No Ketan, my retirement plans change with the scenery and they do not take into account any bit of practical information. You know what, as you enter Gangtok, you cross The Sikkim Manipal Institute and immediately my husband said, “Why don’t you apply there?” The other place he wants me to apply is BITS Goa 🙂

    Oh! is it? I have just watched the movie ‘Sleepless in Seatle’ and know very little about the place.

    Sidhu, you should go to Sikkim once and see how green it is for yourself.
