There are 6 districts in Sikkim, an Indian state, each overseen by a Central Government appointee, the district collector, who is in charge of the administration of the civilian areas of the districts.

The Indian army has control of a large territory, as the state is a sensitive border area.

Many areas are restricted and permits are needed to visit them.

There are a total of eight towns and nine subdivisions in Sikkim.

On December 21, 2021, the Government of Sikkim announced the formation of 2 new districts as well as the renaming of the existing 4 districts.
