Sikkim, a rarely explored beautiful land whose smiling people offer you unforgettable friendliness.Sikkim is a land of pristine beauty which will encourage you to explore and enrich-yourself. It offers many treck routes with breathtaking views of the Snow-Capped mountains or solitary emerald-green lakes other than easily accessible areas.The Flora and Fauna are varied and colourful - Birds and butterflies, a plethora of orchids and flowers or the lush vibrance of the hills.
The arc-shaped Himalayas extend along the entire northern boundary of India and carve just as far across the Indian subcontinent as they do deeply into the life around them. The term "Himalaya" -- a Sanskrit word meaning "the Abode of Snow" -- was coined by the Indian pilgrims. The feeling is a mixture of admiration, awe and fear; and for the Hindus of India, the Himalayas are also "the Abode of God".It also has a rich cultural heritage - nicely decorated monasteries where peace dwells, lively festivals and treasures of historical Tibetan influence.

The landscape changes dramatically, as the lush green hillsides of the Kullu valley are replaced by barren hillsides tapering down to the valley floor.
