Sikkim,
a small north easternly state of India, located long sequestered
in the laps of the Himalayas. The paradise of Eastern Himalayas,
smallest of the Indian states, Sikkim has an area of 7,096 sq.
kms and population of around three lakhs. This gentle, green
state in the northeast is surrounded by Nepal, Bhutan and China
hence strategically it becomes very important.
It was a common thought that Sikkim
is tucked away in some remote and vague corner of India. But
this is not true. Come and feel the culture, the scenic beauty
of the state. Trek the mountain peaks. Enjoy the sunrise of
Kanchandjangha. Understand the reach Buddhist religion. Tourists
and scholars alike create a great demand for information of
this area. |

like its tumultuous history. Tours and Treks, passion for
