Hello Punyaja Singh! Choosing between Gangtok, Darjeeling, and Meghalaya for a mid-December couples' trip depends on preferences. Gangtok offers snowy landscapes and serene monasteries. Darjeeling provides chilly weather, stunning Himalayan views, and tea gardens. Meghalaya boasts milder weather, lush greenery, and unique natural wonders like living root bridges. For a snowy experience, opt for Gangtok or Darjeeling; for a milder climate with green vistas, choose Meghalaya. Keep an eye on weather updates and potential travel disruptions due to snow or landslides. Ultimately, the best destination depends on your desired experience, whether it's snowy romance or nature's serenity.
UpvoteCommentHi Shailaja! Yes I agree with you. I want to visit Meghalaya as I have heard it's very beautiful and holds some of the most magnificent natural beauty but I am also drawn to the idea of snowfall. As you can see my dilemma now
You should Visit Gangtok Sikkim first. In December You can experience Snow in Sikkim
UpvoteCommentHi Yadwinder! Thank you so much for your input. I am leaning towards Gangtok-Darjeeling but haven't decided anything. I want my partner to experience snow as he hasn't before.
Though Gangtok is my always favourite, but I will suggest for Meghalaya. Meghalaya is really beautiful. You will get to enjoy the crystal clear Umngot river at Dawki near Bangladesh border, root bridge, double decker root bridge. On top of that Meghalaya will be decked up for Christmas. But if you want to enjoy snow glad beautiful Himalayas, then u can go to Sikkim. Other than Gangtok, you can think about Pelling or zuluk.
UpvoteCommentHi! I have never been to North East and the tales of its beauty have always attracted me to it. While Gangtok and Darjeeling give me a calm vibe, for some reason Meghalaya sounds more adventurous, when visiting all these places. Am I wrong here? PS: thank you for your input.
