Sikkim is a small, landlocked state in India's northeastern region, bordered by Nepal, Bhutan, and China's Tibet Autonomous Region. Nestled in the Eastern Himalayas, it is renowned for its breathtaking natural beauty, including the majestic Mount Kanchenjunga (the world's third-highest peak), alpine meadows, and lush green valleys. The capital city is the charming hillside town of Gangtok. The state boasts a rich cultural tapestry woven from the traditions of the Lepcha, Bhutia, and Nepali communities. Major festivals like Losar and Saga Dawa are celebrated with vibrant mask dances and rituals. Sikkim is a pioneer in ecotourism and sustainable development, notably becoming India's first and only fully organic state in 2016. Key attractions include ancient Buddhist monasteries (Rumtek, Pemayangtse), sacred lakes (Tsomgo, Gurudongmar), and the Khangchendzonga National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Its serene environment, diverse biodiversity, and opportunities for adventure tourism make it a unique and captivating destination.
