If you're looking for a tour in the paradise of Indian Himalayas, look no further - join our Sikkim & Darjeeling Tour in the lap of world's third highest mountain Kangchendzonga (8586m/28,162 ft). Wild and varied, Sikkim and Darjeeling provide the perfect setting of Himalaya Mountains with their gentle climate, green hills, its pine forests, and valleys with long long stretches of green tea gardens. Sikkim is a region influenced by Buddhism, with a number of Buddhists temples, monasteries and learning centers that depict the culture and value of the Sikkimese version of Buddhism. A stronghold of Tibetan Buddhism, Sikkim is home to over two hundred monasteries, mostly inhabited by the Lepchas, Nepalese, Tibetans, Indians, and Bhutanese. The region was opened to the foreigners only recently. Darjeeling, chosen by the British Raj as their hill resort for its mild climate and scenic beauty, is still a popular hill station both among the Indian and foreign travelers.
