Sikkim

Sikkim, a land of enchantment, lies in the heart of the Himalayas, engulfed by snow clad mountains, forest covered ridges, deep ravines and numerous mountain streams. A paradise within human reach, Sikkim, a part of India since 1975, shares her borders with Tibet in the North, Bhutan in the East, Nepal in the West and the District of Darjeeling in the South. Known also as Beyul Demozong - "hidden rice valley", Sikkim is crowned by Mt. Kanchendzonga (8,586 m), the third highest mountain in the World. From the alpine mountains to the tropical forests, Sikkim holds within it a wealth of flora, fauna and rare animal species.

Sikkimese people live a simple life with natural gaiety and warmth. They are self-reliant and at ease with their secluded environment. Religion is the pivot around which revolves Sikkim's cultural heritage, life style and festivals. Few can pass this magical land without emerging refreshed.
