SIKKIM-
Land of mystic splendor
Sikkim offers the magical feel of a Himalayan
fairytale land. It is an amazing place of hidden
valleys, mystical monasteries, snow-fed lakes
and a mountain setting covered with flowers and
forests. This former kingdom is home to three
major population groups — the Lepchas, Bhutias
and Nepalese — providing a colorful composite
of cultures. . |
|
| Mt Kanchenjunga,
the third highest peak in the world at 8,586 m,
dominates the landscape and is revered as Sikkim’s
guardian deity. Sikkim is a state of India tucked
in the Himalaya across Nepal’s eastern frontier.
It is crammed in between Tibet (China) to the
north, Bhutan to the east and Darjeeling to the
south. |

DARJEELING- The queen of the hills
Darjeeling (Darjeeling Gorkha Hill Council) in northeast
India provides the perfect ambience of a hill resort
with its mild climate and laid-back charm. Its verdant
hills and valleys are steeped in color, and are
interspersed with vast stretches of lush green tea
gardens. Presiding over all these is the 8,586-m
Mt. Kanchenjunga looming over the northern horizon,
giving a magical aura to the land that entices thousands
to its environs and leaves all the senses intoxicated. |
Darjeeling is
hemmed in by Sikkim in the north, Nepal in the
west and Bhutan in the east. Darjeeling town,
Kalimpong and Kurseong are the major urban centers.
Heavily influenced by British India, Darjeeling
still retains legacies of its colonial past. The
toy train is one of the most striking examples
of Darjeeling's British Raj influence.
