Sikkim is India's smallest state, but perfectly formed for trekking. It perches, a touch insouciantly, between Nepal, China, Tibet and Bhutan, and over the centuries has been influenced and indeed populated from all these areas. Kanchendzonga (8,586 M), the third highest mountain in the world, dominates the states, being both awesome topographical landmark and a sacred deity.

There is more to Sikkim than just natural beauty. Sikkim provides a wide potential for tourism that has been largely unexploited. The peranially snow-capped mountains, lush green tropics, temperate forests, gurgling streams, and rich flora and fauna are all there to for travelers to savor. There are enormous opportunities for travelers to discover natural beauty as well as the mysticism of prayer flags, stupas and monasteries.
