SIKKIM &

 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.
