Sikkim

Where prayer flags flutter against the Kanchenjunga, and ancient monasteries cling to mist-shrouded peaks.

The mystical heart of the Himalayas.

Nestled in the foothills of the eastern Himalayas, Sikkim is a land of dramatic contours. From plummeting river valleys to the snow-capped peak of Mount Kanchenjunga—the third highest mountain in the world—every vista here tells a story.

But it's not just the landscapes. It's the scent of juniper incense wafting from centuries-old gompas, the warmth of the local Lepcha, Bhutia, and Nepali communities, and the serene stillness of high-altitude lakes like Gurudongmar and Tsomgo.
