Nestled in the Eastern Himalayas, Sikkim is a small yet stunning state of India, sharing borders with Nepal to the west, Bhutan to the east, Tibet (China) to the north, and Darjeeling (West Bengal) to the south. Spanning 7,096 square kilometers, this picturesque region is home to Mount Kanchenjunga, the world’s third-highest peak. Once a Himalayan kingdom, Sikkim became a part of India in 1975, yet it retains its distinct cultural identity and natural charm.
