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

state in the northeast is surrounded by Nepal, Bhutan
and China hence strategically it becomes very important.

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.
The pristine and unspoiled natural beauty includes
Alpine landscape, thick luxuriant tropical forests
torrents rivers, high mountain peaks of the great
Himalayan range and peaceful lakes - a true Sangrila.
The story of Sikkim echoes the land itself - an ardous
landscape of peaks and valleys that rise and fall like
its tumultuous history. Tours and Treks, passion for
learning Buddhism form the integral part of touring
Sikkim.
Among all the hill stations and tourist places in the
Himalayas, Sikkim has some of the best roads.
