The land of Sleeping Buddha


"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched" - these words of Helen Keller are fitting for this enchanting destination which is entrenched in the  Eastern Himalayas.

 

Crowned by Mount Kanchenjunga and jeweled by the outpouring beauty of the alpine forests, Snow-fed lakes, and lush green meadows, Sikkim is one of India's hidden treasures that is bundled with the euphoria of natural beauty and the charm of ancient heritage passed on for centuries.

Although the destination is laced with the gleaming mountains of Himalayas, it is the centuries-old Buddhist monasteries that have managed to intrigue travelers from all corners of the world.

Rumtek Monastery is one such site. Established in the sixteenth century by the Ninth Karmapa Wangchuk Dorje, the place is surrounded by the vast vistas of the Himalayas and stream overlooking the picturesque town of Gangtok. The place is enshrined with beautiful murals, the monastery has a four-storied main temple with a golden sculpture on its roof.




Yumthang Valley in Sikkim is yet another seamless beauty that is known to cast a magical spell through its rolling meadows donned with beds of rare and endangered flowers and trees along with streams and hot springs. Sitting at an elevation of 3500 meters above the sea level, Yumthang Valley truly punctuates the ethereal beauty of Himalayan region untouched till date.




Tsomgo Lake, also known as Changu Lake is a glacial lake in Sikkim and located at an altitude of 12,310 feet. Around 40 km away from Sikkim, the reflection of surrounding trees makes the lake even more beautiful and attractive. In Summers and Autumn, the lake is ringed by the colorful Primula flowers while in winter the lake transforms into a spectacular snowfield. A small Shiva Temple by the roadside denotes that the lake is considered sacred by the locals.




Engulfed with Snow-clad mountains, Lush green garden,m pristine lakes, and beautiful trails and ancient monasteries, Sikkim is the mystical land of North East prompting the travel enthusiasts to explore the splendour of nature and sightseeing spots offering aesthetical significance. Join
