Tour Summary

The tiny and beautiful state of Sikkim is sandwiched between Tibet to the north and northwest, Bhutan to the east, Nepal to the west, and the Darjeeling hills to the south. The richness of culture, traditions, history, flora, and fauna in this small state belies its size. Sikkim offers tourists a rare and exotic experience amidst the grandeur of the mountain peaks, cascading waterfalls & quick flowing rivers, lush green valleys, stunning monasteries & terraced hills.

Sikkim conjures up memories of piercing snow-capped mountain peaks soaring over lush and tropical forests, well-known and forgotten monasteries, rare flora and fauna, tumbling waterfalls and streams, and challenging trek paths.
