Trekking in Sikkim

The small and beautiful state of Sikkim is located in the eastern Himalayas. It is spread below the mighty Kanchenjunga (8534 m), the third highest mountain in the world, which is revered by the locals as their protective deity.

Amidst the grandeur of the mountain peaks, lush valleys, fast flowing rivers, hills, Sikkim offers visitors a rare and singular experience. Within a matter of hours one can move from the sub tropical heat of the lower valleys to the cold of the rugged mountain slopes that reach up to the area of perpetual snow. Communities, cultures, religions and customs of different hues intermingle freely here to constitute a homogeneous blend. The predominant communities are the Lepchas, Bhutias and Nepalese. Representing a concoction of Buddhism and Tibetology, here you will see many monasteries and ruby clad monks.
