Small but beautiful. Sikkim is situated in the eastern Himalayas . Spread below the Mount Khanchendzonga, the third highest mountain in the world, and revered by the Sikkimese as their protective deity. Amidst the grandeur of the mountain peaks, lush valleys, fast flowing rivers, hills, Sikkim offers her visitors a rare and singular experience. Within a matter of hours one can move from the sub tropical heat of the lower valleys to the cold of the rugged mountain slopes that reach up to the area of perpetual snow .

The perfect destination for vacationers in quest of enhanchment, tranquility or adventure. A jewel embedded in snow clad mountains, Sikkim is a primeval land that is unlike anywhere else. A land so rich in culture, tradition and steeped in religion. You want adventure? Mountaineering, trekking, river rafting, yak safari, mountain biking, hang gliding.. Sikkim offers all..

Now you must be asking .. okay.. but what about transposrt? Unfortunately (or may be fortuantely) Sikkim does not have any airports or railheads because of its rough terrain. The closest airport, Bagdogra Airport, is near the town of Siliguri, West Bengal. The airport is about 124 km away from Gangtok (the capital of Sikkim). A regular helicopter service run by the Sikkim Helicopter Service connects Gangtok to Bagdogra; the flight is thirty minutes long, operates only once a day, and can carry 4 people. The Gangtok helipad is the only civilian helipad in the state. The other option remains is the roadway. You better take a roadtrip else you are gonna miss something. National Highway 31A links Siliguri to Gangtok. The highway is an all-weather metalled road which mostly runs parallel to the river Teesta, entering Sikkim at Rangpo. Numerous public and privately run bus and jeep services connect the airport, railway station, and Siliguri to Gangtok.
