Sikkim, where hills tower like castles built on cloudy nothingness, where lakes dot the countryside like sparkling jewels on a carpet of lush green forest, where mighty rivers roar down deep ravines lined with the bloom of Rhododendron flowers, Where impossibly steep terraced farms give way to gentle slopes of grassland, where the air is fresh, the water pure and the people gentle, where courtesy and good manners are second nature.
More about Sikkim
Sikkim, a treasure trove of beauty, in its landscape, culture and people. A mystical wonderland of spectacular natural beauty. The panoramic perfection of the snow-capped Himalayas, the heady scent of flower-bedecked meadows, the infinite variety of its flora and fauna all make Sikkim a must visit destination.
How to get there
You require at least four days to make the trip worth your while while two weeks would be great to explore the whole state.
Bagdogra in West Bengal is the closest airport and is about a 3 – 4 hour drive away from Gangtok. New Jalpaiguri in Siliguri is the closest railway station and about 150 km away from Gangtok.
What you can do in Sikkim
Sikkim is truly magnificent. If you are looking for a nice relaxing holiday surrounded by beautiful mountains and occasionally snow, this is the place. For the adventurous, you can drive up to some really high altitudes – 17,100 ft in North Sikkim to experience what it is like at high altitudes. On the western side of Sikkim, you might get to see the Khangchendzonga range on a clear day. Sikkim has something for everyone.
From inspiring monasteries, lovely country side to rocky high snow capped mountains with clear skies that sometimes proudly display the milky way.
