Located in Northeast India bordering Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan, and the Indian state of West Bengal, Sikkim and near by Darjeeling are renowned for their breathtaking mountain scenery which includes the world’s third highest peak, Kanchanjunga straddling the Sikkim Nepal border. Sikkim’s long history linking the Indian subcontinent with the Tibetan plateau has served to shape its culture identity, and to this day the region remains a unique blend of Tibetan Buddhism and Hinduism. Our 16 day all inclusive tour will give you a taste of this rich culture and majestic mountain scenery. For those interested in hiking up into the mountains we can also include a trek in the tour (which would modify the itinerary below).
