The picturesque state of Sikkim borders Tibet, Nepal & Bhutan, and is the ideal destination for nature and adventure sport lovers. We, as major Travel Agents for India, can offer you a wide array of travel and tour services, and adventure filled trekking holiday packages to this state.

Couched in the lap of the eastern Himalayas, Sikkim offers a picturesque and serene retreat from the humdrum of life. The major tourist sites to visit in North Sikkim are Chungthang (the origin of the river Teesta), Yumthang, the Singba Rhododendron Sanctuary, and the Kanchenjunga National Park. South Sikkim offers some of the best treks in the region. The sylvan mountains of Namtse, 100 km from Gangtok, and Tendong, Varsey, Borong, Maenam hill and Ravangla beckon adventure and nature lovers for a walk through their lush green vegetation.

In the eastern part of the state, one can visit the capital Gangtok. The Directorate of handicraft and handloom, White Hall, Ridge Garden, Do-Drul Chorten Stupa, Sikkim Research Institute of Tibetology, Rumtek Dharma Chakra Center, Tashi View Point, Ganesh Tok, Hanuman Tok, the Fambong La Wildlife Sanctuary, and the Kyongnosla Alpine Sanctuary are oft-visited sites. West Sikkim, on the other hand, boasts of the Rabdentse ruins, Pelling, and the former capital Yuksom.

Sikkim offers a wide range of adventure sport opportunities, including mountaineering in the Himalayas. Trekking enthusiasts can follow any of the following four trek routes: the Monastic Trek, the Rhododendron Trek, the Kanchenjunga Trek or the Coronation Trek. The Teesta or Rangit rivers are ideal for an exciting river-rafting experience. Kayaking is also arranged on the Teesta for special groups. Yak safaris are arranged from Dzongri onwards. Mountain biking is very popular in north and west Sikkim these days. And Jorethang is a popular locale for gliding.

Offices of Sikkim tourism can be contacted for availing facilities and opportunities for all these sports. While it was virtually impossible for foreigners to enter Sikkim until recently, getting a permit to visit Gangtok is merely a formality now.

There are several monastries nestled among the picturesque hills of Sikkim. These structures are places of immense calm and the fragrance of incense sticks fills the air. Sikkim's famous mask dances are a marvellous spectacle. Performed by lamas in the Gompa courtyard to celebrate religious festivals, they are art in motion, an alchemy of perfect footwork and grace. Costumed lamas with gaily-painted masks, ceremonial swords and sparkling jewels, leap and swing to the rhythm of resounding drums, trumpeting of horns and chanting of monks.

A holiday in Sikkim is a completely rejuvenating experience. The crisp air, long treks and insight into the harmonious sharing of ethnic culture will refresh your body, mind and soul.
