Sikkim Secretariat docs, university kits, MG Marg wholesale.
Sikkim Secretariat & Vidhan Sabha docs
Sealed-cover correspondence to the Tashiling Secretariat and Vidhan Sabha at Sichey. Express only — surface is too long for time-sensitive paperwork. We retain DTDC receipts on file for audit queries.
University & NIT student care kits
Care kits for Sikkim University at Tadong, Sikkim Manipal University at Majitar, and NIT Sikkim at Ravangla — books, winter clothing, supplements, festival sweets. Heaviest in February and again in July–August.

Tadong & Development Area retiree parcels
Medicines, books, woollens and festival packages to retiree households in Tadong, Development Area and Ranipool. Surface is fine if it isn’t time-critical.

A short, real list.
DTDC (and every air-network courier) prohibits these. Items most often misjudged on the Udaipur → Gangtok lane:
Banned outright
- Liquids of any kind — perfumes, attars, oils, gels, hand sanitiser
- Aerosols and pressurised cans
- Cosmetics, nail polish, fragrance samples
- Flammable solids and matches
- Currency notes and gold/silver bullion
- Lithium batteries above 100 Wh on the air leg
Common Udaipur → Gangtok misjudgements
- Fresh fruit, cheese, yak-milk products — perishable. Will not survive a 5–6 day surface route.
- Local liquor or chhang — alcohol is banned across DTDC, including return-trip gifting.
- Pickle and ghee — semi-liquid; do not pack with regular parcels.
- Attar bottles from the old city — these are oils. They cannot ship.
AWB on WhatsApp. Track on dtdc.in. POD when it lands.
The moment the parcel is booked into DTDC, we send you the AWB number on WhatsApp. Type it into the public tracker at dtdc.in any time. When delivery happens we forward the POD — signed slip or photo — within the hour.
Specific to Udaipur → Gangtok.
Why is surface 5–6 days when other lanes are 2–3?
Two reasons. First, distance — Udaipur to Kolkata is the long trunk leg before the parcel even enters east India. Second, NH10 between Bagdogra and Gangtok is a single mountain road that closes for landslides every monsoon (typically July to September), and we add a day or two to surface estimates during those months as a matter of routine. We will not quote 3 days on this lane and you should distrust anyone who does.
Do you deliver to Pelling, Lachung or Lachen?
Yes — North and West Sikkim deliveries (Pelling, Yuksom, Lachung, Lachen) are served via DTDC last-mile from Gangtok. Add roughly 2 days to whatever option you pick, and note that the spoke vans run only Monday to Friday. Tell us the exact PIN and the destination village; we will quote a realistic transit, not a generic figure.
How do Sikkim University student care-kits work?
Most parents send a 10–15 kg consolidated kit per term — a mix of clothing, food packets (sealed dry only), books, and a card. We pack it as one parcel under the student’s name with the hostel block on the AWB, photograph the contents at packing for your records, and send POD when the hostel signs. Going via express keeps it inside 4 working days, including the NH10 leg.
Tell us the rough weight. We’ll come back in minutes.
