9 reasons why you must visit Sikkim.

You may have a million and one excuses to not travel to Sikkim, this February. But, they sure can't beat these 9 reasons why, you must.

REASON #1:

This could be your chance of seeing Mt. Kangchenjunga, not just in pictures, postcards and calendars. The guardian deity of Sikkim in the form of glorious mountains you can see, as if it stands right in front of you, from the capital, and most other in the state. 

 REASON #2:

Located in South Sikkim, this tea garden, Temi,  is known to be one of the best in India. Green little tea leaves pop out at you, from the  gently laid out slopping hills. 

REASON #3:

Nestled between the hill slopes of Gangtok and Pakyong, the Saramsa park is situated approximately 14 km away from the capital town on the Pakyong road. Established in 1922, this garden is known to have been a venue for many famed events, one of them being the International Flower Show.

REASON #4:

Like most little towns, the capital of Sikkim, Gangtok too has a rope way. However, a ride on this 1 km long rope way, with 3 entry points is one that will offer you a view like no other. Ride it. You'll know.

REASON #5:

No matter which direction your car is headed to, from the capital, you will come across little towns and sleepy hamlets with homes adorned with flowers. The red, blue and yellow blossoms will peep at you from the windows and balconies.

REASON #6:

At 118 feet, in Namchi, South Sikkim, you will see the world's largest statue of Buddhist Padmasambhava, also known as Guru Rinpoche, the patron saint of Sikkim. On Samdruptse or the Wish Fulfilling Well, this intimidating statue sits on a dormant volcano. See it yourself. No matter how big you are, you're sure to be dwarfed by it. 

REASON #7:

In Sikkim, you are sure to feel healthy. Not just in the cold, crisp and clean mountain air, but also in all that you eat. With the state heading to become one with only organic food, here you will get a chance to eat food that is as healthy as it can get.

REASON #8:

For each one of you, looking for more than a quiet little time, here's something that can rush your senses. You can para glide, and while you are up in the air, you could get a bird's eye view of all things beautiful. Do let us know what you see, then.

REASON #9:

You will see flowers like you have never before. Each one unique in its own way, for you to enjoy this visual extravagant thoroughly.
