Sikkim was earlier a protectorate of India with a monarchy government, but in
1975 it metamorphosed as the twenty second state of Indian Union. The population
of the whole state is about 5, 40,000 as per the last census, less than a
populated colony of Delhi? Tucked away in the eastern corner of the mighty
Himalayas, Sikkim nestles among the snow-clad- ranges like a precious jewel
waiting to be discovered. Bordered by Tibet in the north, Bhutan in the east,
Nepal in the west and the Indian state West Bengal in the south, Sikkim is an
enchanting land that inspires divine imaginations in the hearts of all who come
within its magical range. The sacred and exotic land is blessed by the great
Buddhist saint Guru Padmasambhawa. Sikkim harbors nearly 4000 varieties of
flowering plants including 600 varieties of orchids, exotic collection of fauna
and some of the rare and endangered species of wildlife like red panda, snow
leopard, and shapi etc.An ancient land treasured with seemingly endless visual
vistas, pristine environment, and hospitality which is genuinely legendary. Here
lies Mount Kanchendzonga (8586mts) the third highest peak in the world revered
and worshipped by sikkimese as “Protective Deity”. The name Sikkim is an
appellation of the Nepalese word “Suk-him” meaning “A land of happiness” the
Bhutias call it “Bayul Demazong” or the “Hidden Valley of Rice”, the name Sikkim
is also an apt metaphor for enchanting experience, adorable myths, and a
mystical bliss. In short, Sikkim is a desirable destination to go serenading
seraphic sensuality of the Great Himalayan foothills where the nature is at its
best and the closest. The customs and cultures of the different communities that
reside here also present a kaleidoscopic picture. A visit to Sikkim is to let
you loose on a grand tour of a place that is still very much virgin, unpolluted
and innocent. Sikkim offers the perfect destination for those wanting an escape
from the sanitized complexities of the city life and longing for some warmth and
friendship in the lap of nature.
