Unfolding the Story: A Snapshot of This Journey
Sikkim completely captivated me with its Himalayan grandeur! From the moment I saw the mountain views from the plane, I was hooked. I explored the charming town of Gangtok, visited Nathu-La Pass on the historic Silk Route, and marveled at the beauty of Tsomgo Lake. The monasteries, like Rumtek and Phodong, were incredible, and the Yumthang Valley was a riot of colors. Sikkim is a place of stunning landscapes and rich culture – and you can read all about it in the full article!
