Why November here
Lampokhari lake, forest lodges and the first stop on the silk-route drive.
Aritar is the green east-Sikkim village around Lampokhari, one of the state’s oldest natural lakes: paddle boats, forest lodges and a monastery on the ridge, with the silk-route corridor heading up beyond it.
