Sikkim / Bhutna

Sikkim :
Sikkim awaits discovery. Until recently a Bhuddhist mountain Kingdom, the newest state of India, situated between Nepal and Bhutan, retains a pristine quality amidst modern comforts and amenities. Its rich forests harbor unusual wildlife and stunning floral displays, incliding hundreds of wild orchid species and dozens of rhododendron varieties. Kanchendzonga (8586m) , guardian mountain of Sikkim, and other peaks soar above rushing streams. New ecotourism policies aim to regulate tourists impacts while serving local needs.

Your Sikkim Journey begins at the base of the eastern Himalaya (by flight from Kathmandu, Calcutta or Delhi) and continues by road up to Gangtok (1547m), hillside capital of Sikkim. Day and overnight trips visit Rumtek monastery, seat of the 17th Reincarnate Karmapa, colourful bazzars, tea gardens, and the lush forests of north and west Sikkim.

Bhutan :
Bhutan, known to the natives as Druk Yul (land of the thunder Dragon), Bhutan is regarded as the last paradise on earth.Its isolation, spectacular mountains, varried flora and fauna, ancient Buddhist monasteries, vibrant culture and mystic area have made it so.

Though small in size, the kingdom's topography is one of the dramatic contrasts from the near tropical southern boarder with India at an altitude of 300m, the land rises to colminate in over 7000m peaks of himalayas, which forms a natural fronteir with the tibetan region of Bhutan's neighbours, China.

The Bhutanese are a deeply religous people. Followers of Mahayan Bhuddhism, their belief is woven intricately even into their daily lives in the way they live, work, worship and celebrate.
