Bermiok
is low height valley than other parts of Sikkim, so winter is so pleasant than
other areas, you also can visit this place during chilly winter; don’t need to
carry large number of winter clothes for all family members.
At least
spend minimum two days in Bermiok to explore all local destinations, Monasteries, Lepcha Heritage House, Rabindra
Memorial forest, Manghim Temple,
He-Khola water garden and Sirigjngha falls etc. Also anyone can
cover this entire spot in a single day but it will be hectic to manage because
you need to trek few K.M.s for Sirijangha Falls, this enjoyable walking under
dense forest will be great feeling.
