SIKKIM – A Hilly Escapade
Sikkim, as we all know, is the second smallest state in India, after Goa being the smallest one. This state has a lot to offer when it comes to landscapes and natural beauty. For the trekkers and bike riders the place is no less than a heaven that is within everyone’s reach. With snowfall that happens every year on some parts of the state, it looks no less than a foreign land in the Indian boundaries.
Talking of foreign lands, did you know that Sikkim was not a part of the India subcontinent till the year 1975?
Well even after it became a part of it the state authorities made sure that the state does not lose its charm and thus made amendments like keeping the entire state clean.
With varied routes for trekking, this place is always the first preference for the ones who love to take a long walk to explore the hidden treasures of the nature. The local people of Sikkim are very welcoming and offer warmth to all the travellers. You must have heard of Yuksom, and if you haven’t done it yet, save it for your next trip.
