Keep your original identity proof card handy and safe but also carry few copies of the proof. Carry some stamp-sized photos. These will be useful while applying for Inner Line Permits and more.
2
No matter which season you are visiting Sikkim, always carry a set of warm clothes. Mornings and evenings can be chilly even in summer. And do not forget anti-vomit, headache, and diarrhea tablets.

If possible, book your stay at a homestay or guesthouse. They are clean and affordable, and you will be able to experience the life of the locals and learn their culture and customs.
