Sikkim is a
visitor's dreams come true. The impregnable snowy
Himalayas, not forgetting the third highest mountain
in the world Mt. Khanchendzonga and the flat lowlands
with it's diverse flora & fauna. Trekking
in the rough mountains, rafting on the turbulent
rivers, and sightseeing are all laid out for the
visitor on a platter. Gangtok, the capital of
Sikkim, is often referred to as the " Lofty
Hills". An air of Enchantment pervades in
the entire atmosphere of the valley with its stupas,
Monasteries and its Mysticism. In Gangtok, one
very frequently comes across the Prayer flags
whipping in the breeze, robed Lamas chanting prayers
to God, lined Brightly painted pagoda - roofed
houses, and of course, the sound of trumpets from
the distance hills & valleys. |
