In the month of July, you might face lots of rains. But monsoon makes Gangtok look more beautiful and serene.

Yes why not if you love to get drenched in rain. It would be raining in July in most of the hill stations in India.

In India Darjeeling - Gangtok and Himachal- Kullu, Manali, Shimla are a most famous and awesome place for Honeymoon. Darjeeling, West Bengal Whether by heritage toy train or road, the journey from Bagdogra airport / New Jalpaiguri station takes you through gently undulating tea gardens, in myriad shades of green, before the steep climb via Kharseong and Ghoom, and finally descends to the “abode of the thunder dragon”. Darjeeling was amongst the first and foremost hill stations of the British Raj and still retains many splendid attractions – including the Natural History Museum for wildlife and Everest Museum (of Tenzing fame). Your trip here is incomplete without a visit to a tea estate, Happy Valley being the closest. Take in those magical sunsets from the Observatory Hill (sight of the twin peaks of the Kanchenjunga), visit Tiger Hill for panoramic views of Mt. Everest and spend quality time in the arms of nature at Senchal Lake. Gangtok, Sikkim A generation ago Kathmandu used to be a popular honeymoon destination. However, now that Gangtok has its own casino, it offers all the ingredients that Kathmandu did, against the backdrop of natural beauty. Sightseeing in the city should include meandering up to Tsuklakhang Royal Chapel and Monastery via Deer Park (modeled on Sarnath), as well as visiting the Secretariat and the absolutely unique Orchid Sanctuary with its 600 species of orchids. Shop for honeymoon keepsakes at the Old and Naya Bazaars or the venerable Cottage Industries for bargains on the famous Sikkimese carpets, thangka wall drapes, shirts, boots, fur articles, and wood carvings. Don't leave Gangtok without visiting the gorgeous Tshangu Lake. A two-hour drive from the city, the lake is a major tourist attraction and is a photographer's delight! Yumthang Valley, located about 150 km from Gangtok is also known as the "Valley of Flowers", and has over 24 species of Rhododendron flowers. From the lush green meadows to the cascading waterfalls and streams, Yumthang is a nature lover's delight. Good Luck!!!
Happy Travelling!!

July is the season that witnessed the maximum rains in both the places. It completely depends on weather u enjoy the rains or not. Even though the rains make the mountains look even prettier than normal..but they come with their own consequences in the form of landslides and blocked roads. Certain areas of sikkim mite evn b blocked. Keep these things in mind before you plan anything!!!
