Overview
No words are enough to describe the stunning landscapes of spellbinding Sikkim and Darjeeling. Still retaining its old world charm, Sikkim is a mountain land offering rich cultural heritage and sheer natural beauty. It is aptly called the ‘organic state’ of India where you can enjoy fresh fruits and vegetables straight away from the gardens. In Sikkim, take a stroll through high-altitude lovely lakes, capture the rejuvenating sights of mountains and visit the Buddhist monasteries for a blissful experience.
