Sikkim

Sikkim, cradled in the Eastern Himalayas, is a jewel of serenity and spirituality. Once ruled by the Namgyal dynasty, it later became part of India while retaining its distinctive Buddhist culture. Famous attractions include Tsomgo Lake, Nathula Pass, Rumtek Monastery, Yumthang Valley, and Kanchenjunga—the world’s third-highest peak. Sikkim is dotted with colorful monasteries, prayer flags, and fluttering chants that create an aura of peace. The culture blends Lepcha, Bhutia, and Nepalese traditions, celebrated through festivals like Losar and Saga Dawa. Adventure enthusiasts can trek, raft, or explore high-altitude passes, while eco-tourism and organic farming make it environmentally conscious. Sikkim is unique for being India’s first fully organic state and for maintaining a delicate balance between development and nature. It’s a destination where snow-capped peaks, Buddhist chants, and vibrant flora converge into a tranquil paradise.
