Traveler's tips
Sikkim is a mountainous state with countless hairpin bends and narrow bridges connecting remote regions. Rely on the expertise of the drivers for a safe trip in the state. If you think you might experience AMS, take anti-nausea pills before your journey and carry camphor to help with breathing. Allow your body to adjust to the high altitudes and spend a couple of nights at least in each place instead of rushing through Sikkim. This is a high mountain bridge that we crossed as we left Lachung behind and headed towards Lachen.
