Darjeeling & Sikkim
Darjeeling & Sikkim offer the magical feel of a Himalayan fairytale lands. Amazing hidden valleys, mystical monasteries, snow-fed lakes and a mountain setting covered with flowers, tea-gardens and forests culminate here. These two neighboring Indian states are home to three major population groups Nepalese, Lepcha and Bhutia – providing a colorful composite of cutlers. Mt. Kanchenjunga, the third highest peak in the world at 8,586 m. dominates the landscape and is revered as their guardian deity.
These two states of India tucked in the Himalaya across Nepal’s eastern frontier – crammed between Tibet to the north, Bhutan to the east and their neighboring stat, West Bangle in the south.
As an import part of the Himalayas, both the places offers the best adventure experience of mountaineering, trekking, white water rafting, kayaking, canoeing, mountain biking and rock climbing.
