Himalayan state, with villages tucked on the vertical slopes
of high ridges. Life here is quiet and undisturbed, the
mountains and forests are caressed by the Teesta and Rungit
rivers the people have soft feet and quiet voices. Sikkim
boasts of several hundred different kinds of orchides and is
frequently referred to as a “botanists paradise”. The economy
is agrarian. The state offers both advanced and easy trekking
trails leading to the foot of Mt. Kanchenjunga, and while
water rafting down the rivers.
