Inside Sikkim

Pat Cummins28 May, 2020Travel

Situated in the northeast of India, right atop the state of West Bengal, Sikkim is the second smallest and least populous state of the country. But what Sikkim lacks in size, it makes up with culture, cuisine and charm. Nestled amidst the treacherous folds of Eastern Himalayas, Sikkim is divided into four broader zones � North, South, East and West. The landscape in all four regions is contoured and perfected with a feisty blend of history, culture and the gifts of nature. But the crowning glory of the state is the glistening, snow-covered presence of Mount Kanchenjunga � the highest peak of India and the third highest peak of the world.
