Package Detail

A mountain kingdom until 1975, Sikkim retains a very distinctive aura. The meditative silence of its mural-splashed monasteries, a testimony to its Tibetan Buddhism routes, and their co-existence with the multiple Hindu temples, an evidence of the ever-surging Nepali community, come together to create a kaleidoscopic array of structures and shapes that adorn Sikkim’s skyline. High on eco-tourism and in a race to go fully organic, you will be mesmerised by the labyrinthine of hanging, steep valleys dense with a cover of rhododendron jungles and subtropical forests backed by the snow-frosted peaks of the Himalayas to the north, that is Sikkim. When the mist lifts and you are on top of a ridge, you will be rewarded by the views of the Kanchenjunga, the world’s third highest mountain on the northwestern horizon. Sikkim lying to the south of Tibet is ensconced between Bhutan to the east and Nepal to the west. With dimensions of this little Himalayan state as tight as 65 kilometre by 115 kilometre, it is home to a maze of narrow, winding roads penetrating into the heart of this wild Himalayan state.
