The mighty and majestic mountains, green valleys, wilderness & sense of adventure, delightful cuisines, peaceful and crime free State, Hot spot of biodiversity and a mixture of things makes this place on the earth a delight to visit.Sikkim is sheer magic. This is not just the most beautiful place in the world but cleanest and safest too.With its unique culture and natural landscape, Sikkim is a picture of perfection and pristine purity.Surrounded on three sides by precipitous mountain walls, Sikkim appears as a small rectangular Gem.Dominating both legend and landscape of Sikkim is the mighty Khangchendzonga. But to the Sikkimese it is much more than a mountain: Khangchendzonga is the Guardian deity, a country God whose benign watchfulness ensures peace and prosperity for the land. The five peaks of Khangchendzonga are the five Treasures of the Eternal Snow, a belief beautifully interpreted by the great Lama Lhatsun Chenpo: “The peak most conspicuously gilded by the rising sun is the treasury of gold, the peak that remains in cold grey shade is the storehouse for silver and other peaks are vaults for gems, grains and the holy books.” Each of the five peaks is believed to be crowned by an animal—the highest by a tiger and others by a lion, elephant, horse and the mythical bird Garuda.I had a fascinating vacation here.
