1. Re: Snow in april…? No chance of snow in Gangtok. You might get to see snow in North Sikkim in places like Zuluk or Zero Point, and in Nathu La pass.

There is less possibility to witness snowfall in Gangtok town, as snowfall in the town is not common. But, the higher altitude areas near Gangtok allow you to witness the snowfall. January and February are the months when snowfalls can be seen in the higher altitudes zones.

During its peak season, that is from September to June, Gangtok draws in many tourists, Still if you inquire the best time to visit Gangtok then the bracing autumn that is the months of September and October and from Spring to summers that is from March to June is the ideal time.
