Sikkim is a land of monumental mountains that seem to touch the heavens. These mountains form a part of the long range - the mighty Himalayas. These towering Mountains define this paradise of nature. The Khangchendzonga, the third highest mountain in the world, majestically towers over all the mountains in its vicinity like a god surrounded by smaller deities. The Khangchendzonga, serene and tranquil in its presence like a saint in transcendental meditation, can be seen from almost all parts of Sikkim.
