SIKKIM & DARJEELING

 

Sikkim is a magical land that remained an untouched kingdom, with a feudalistic system, until 1975 when India annexed it and made it 22nd state. The strategic location of this state, flanked by Bhutan, Tibet, and the Indian state of West Bengal, explains the need India felt to annex it. An incredible effort has been made to develop Sikkim, and most of the villages there today have tap water and electricity. Roads have been built across and around the hills and mountains, allowing travellers to reach the slopes covered with eternal snow with a few hours of leaving the tropical areas.

Sikkim is rich in both cultural and natural wonders, influenced by its neighbors, Buddhism has got a strong hold on this former kingdom, and there are many old as well as recently built monasteries to be visited. The forests here hold the most amazing concentration of flowers in the world, from multi-colored rhododendrons to a wide variety of wild orchids. Reigning high over the state, and revered by its people, the third highest mountain in the world, Kanchenjunga (8,586m), never lets one forget that Sikkim is indeed a Himalayan realm.

Foreign visitors are still rare in Sikkim, which mostly benefits from Indian tourists. However, we have organized treks into areas of Sikkim where Westerners had never been seen. Sikkim offers a wonderful experience amid pristine and spoilt natural settings. It is indeed an ideal destination for those in search of some of the last Himalayan kingdoms.
