January is called as winter in Sikkim where days are pleasant whole nights are cold. Inspite of cold weather, you get to see breathtaking views so January is an ideal time to visit Sikkim provided you carry enough winter wears to keep yourself warm. Places to visit in Gangtok- Rumtek monastery, Kanchenjunga moonlight view, Himalayan zoo, seven sisters waterfall, Sarala’s garden and you could trek to Nathula based on that day snow besides doing a yak safari. Pelling- Sangachoeling monastery, swearo rock garden, rimbi falls, Yuksom, Ravangla and geyzing. Darjeeling- Nightingale park, singalila park, Japanese pagoda, tea plantations, zoo park and museum. Lepchajagat is a lovely spot 7km away from Darjeeling.

Jan is the best time for Sikkim Tour. U might get snow while traveling .. Gangtok is the town but I will suggest u to stay in a village ,homestay to enjoy the peace & scenic beauty of Sikkim... Try to stay at Lamahata at tent 1 day instead of Darjeeling. There are many other beautiful places .. In Darjeeling visit Mahakal Madir & Burdwan Palace, also cover near by places like Mirik,Kalimpong , Kurseong by car as Sightseeing.. Pelling - Sky walk at Glass bridge, Temi's tea Garden ( U can also stay there.) ,Singshore Hanging bridge ..
Its difficult to complete North Bengal & Sikkim in 1-2 Trip.. Vast place & Magnificent Kanchenjunga has various appearance from different region. Do try THAKALI & local Momo's at Gangtok .

Yes it's a perfect time to visit Sikkim. But make sure you carry a lot of winter wears as it will be very cold.
