 The KanchenjungaCuddled away in the northeast of India, this wonderfully lush green state rests in the lap of the majestic eastern-Himalayas. Veiled in mists and clouds, Sikkim has always shied from the limelight. Home to the highest peak in India, the Kanchenjunga, the state is spread over 7,100 sq. kms and boasts of a spectacular mountain terrain from the foothills of the Himalayas in the extreme south to the high ranges of the north.
Amidst the splendor of the mountain peaks, lush valleys, fast-flowing rivers, terraced hills, and clear blue skies, it offers a unique experience. Within a matter of hours one can move from the sub-tropical heat of the lower valleys to the cold of the rugged slopes that reach up to the areas of perpetual snow.


Sikkim is famous for its ancient Buddhist monasteries, Flora and Fauna and Pemayangtse Monastrythe scenery which is breathtaking. Places of interest include the Do-Drul Chorten, which is one of the most important 'stupas' of Sikkim built by Trulsi Rinpoche, head of the Niyingma order, containing rare Mandalas of the Dorje Phurpa Holy Books. It is encircled by 108 prayer wheels. The 200 years old Enchey Monastery blessed by the great titanic master, Lama Druptab Karpa, known for his flying powers, is another famous attraction.


Visit the Saramsa Gardens, the home of Sikkim's many exotic orchids and other rare tropical and temperate plants, making it an ideal picnic spot. Also, move on to the Tashi View Point for a breath-taking view of the mighty Mount Khangchen-Dzonga and Mount Siniolchu.

The people of Sikkim love to celebrate. Be it the chasing away of the evil The Rumtek Gompaspirit or celebrations on the occasion of the New Year, the Sikkimese do it all with a gay abandon. The Sikkimese culture finds expression in its beautiful arts and crafts. The craftsmen bring to life the cane and bamboo, available in plenty in this land, through their intricate and fascinate work.
