Sikkim is India’s first fully organic state – that defines the traditional character of this state of the Indian union. A comparatively new entrant in the Indian Dominion, Sikkim is the land of peace and tranquility in these tough times of arrogance, fear, and social despair. The state, tough small in geographical terms, boasts of varied and humongous flora and fauna. While East Sikkim and South Sikkim wreak of commercialism, West and North Sikkim are still Virgin lands, and majorly unexplored. People here welcome you with a smile. Hospitality is the core social value in this Himalayan state. The demography is varied in this part of the world – ethnic tribes of Sikkim, Tibetan, Nepalis, Marwaris, and Biharis – Sikkim represent a microcosm of India at large. The land guarded by the Majestic Himalayas peaked by the Kanchenjunga, flown by Teesta and Rangit Rivers is a traveler’s short story – one journey of self-discovery that doesn’t seem to end.
