Know Before You Go

  • Pick up from the airport is only between 05:00 AM to 07:00 PM as it becomes unsafe for travel on the outskirts. Beyond these timings, you are advised to let Thrillophilia POC know before booking if you are arriving after 7 PM in Siliguri so that Thrillophilia can rearrange your Itinerary accordingly as you might have to stay in Siliguri itself.
  • Govt. Approved Photo ID proof is mandatory for each individual guest at the time of booking (to acquire necessary permits), and also upon arrival. PAN card and Driving License will not be considered as a valid address proof.
  • There is no governing authority (HRACC) to decide the star category of the hotels. Hence, the standards of the room will not be the same as TIER-I/II Cities.
  • By default, we arrange a standard category room while booking unless you specify to receive a different (upgraded) category of rooms for your stay requirements.
  • In case of triple sharing rooms, extra mattresses will be provided at the assigned property. Due to infrastructure limitations in the region the rooms in the North-East come with very basic and necessary amenities only.
  • Senior citizens and travelers younger than 4 years are not recommended to go to Gurudongmar Lake because of low oxygen levels. Permits for the infant under 2 years of age are not granted by North Sikkim tourism. That means if you have an infant traveling with you, you’ll not be allowed to go to North Sikkim.
