The Aritar Helipad in East Sikkim is a peaceful open area that offers one of the best views of the surrounding hills and valleys. Located not far from the well-known Lampokhari Lake, it’s a spot that many visitors include in their travel plans—not for flights, but for the calm and wide-open scenery it offers.

People often visit the helipad early in the morning to catch the sunrise or in the evening to watch the sky change colors at sunset. The wide space gives you a clear view of the green hills around Aritar and, on a clear day, you might even catch a glimpse of the distant Himalayan ranges.

Although it is a functional helipad, it is mostly visited for its peaceful setting. Locals come here for walks or quiet time, while tourists stop by to take photos, enjoy the fresh air, or sit and relax. It’s also a popular place to start a short walk around the village or just enjoy a break in nature.

There’s no entry fee or rush of crowds here, which makes it ideal for travelers who want to spend time away from busy tourist areas. The breeze, open space, and views of the rolling hills make it a refreshing stop for anyone visiting Aritar.
