Aritar’s climate is cooler than most towns in Sikkim, thanks to its location on the edge of the Himalayas. It gets ample snowfall during the winter months, adding to its charm. For the best experience, we recommend visiting Aritar between January and June. Whether you’re looking to enjoy the crisp winter air or the lush greenery of summer, Aritar’s serene beauty is perfect for a peaceful escape.
Aritar is full of stunning sights and activities, each more breathtaking than the last. Here are some of the must-see spots that should be on your list:
For those seeking a spiritual journey, the Parbateyswar Shivalaya Mandir is a serene temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. Located in a peaceful setting, this temple is especially popular during the sacred Shraavan Maas, a month dedicated to the worship of Lord Shiva. It’s the perfect place to meditate, reflect, or simply enjoy the calm atmosphere.
Lampokhari Lake is one of the oldest natural lakes in Sikkim, situated at an altitude of 4500 feet. Surrounded by lush greenery, this picturesque lake is ideal for a peaceful retreat. You can enjoy a relaxing boat ride on the lake, offering incredible views of the surrounding hills. If you’re looking for more excitement, you can try horse riding, archery, or even rock climbing nearby. The Lampokhari Festival held in April and May is a great time to visit, as it features cultural performances, flower shows, and local food sampling.
A short trek from Lampokhari Lake takes you to Mankhim Dara, a small temple that offers stunning views and a chance to meet the local Rai community. The trek is easy and offers beautiful views of the valleys below, making it a great way to experience the local culture and natural beauty.
Getting to Aritar is easy, though it’s best to plan ahead since it’s a remote town. The most convenient way to explore Aritar is by booking a private taxi through Sikkim Dekho. This ensures you’ll have a comfortable journey, especially since public transportation options can be limited. Our team can help arrange everything, so your trip is smooth and hassle-free from start to finish.
