An untamed mountain world, Sikkim boast of locales filled with exotic orchids, Buddhist gompas and exotic flowers that proliferate wild.
Sikkim - is a splendid mosaic of moving ice masses, medicinal springs, magnificent Mountain Rivers and mountains that touch the skies...
With its early history shrouded in confusion, Sikkim is said to have been inhabited by three ancient tribes viz. Naong, Mon and Chang who were later assimilated by the Lepchas who made in roads into this imposing mountain world.
In the later years several tribes from Tibet settled down in Sikkim, India. Gradually the Namgyal dynasty made its presence felt as the political and spiritual head of the people of Sikkim. Rulers of the Namgyal dynasty ruled Sikkim for more than 332 years.
The perfect destination for mountain adventure sports, Sikkim is also famous for its Buddhist monasteries that lie on imposing heights in isolated areas.
India State Tours with Magical India Tours offer ample opportunity for exploring this secretive land that intimidates with mountain peaks such as the Kanchendzonga - a snow capped mountain peak that also happens to be the third highest in the world.
