The visitor to Sikkim will be spoilt for choice with each of
the four districts offering a unique travel opportunity.
East Sikkim
The east district is the most populated with
Gangtok being the main administrative and business centre. Apart from the
modern attractions of the capital town, in the east you will also find the
beautiful Tsomgo Lake, the historically important Nathula pass, as well as many
monasteries and temples. Gangtok is the capital of Sikkim and heart of all the
business hubs.
West Sikkim
West Sikkim is replete with history and
religion. This is where the first Chogyal of Sikkim was consecrated at Yuksum
in 1642 and this is where some of the holiest and most important monasteries of
Sikkim were established, including Dubdi and Sanga Choling, the first
monasteries to be built in Sikkim. West Sikkim is beautiful terrain abounding
in lakes and waterfalls and also has great trekking routes. Gyalshing is the
head quarter and town of the West District.
South Sikkim
South Sikkim, the smallest district belies its
size with its variety of tourist attractions. With stupendous view of the
Khangchendzonga range, the south of Sikkim is a fairy tale land of picturesque
villages and high hills. Near Namchi, the district headquarters is Samdruptse
Hill, the site of the 135 feet tall statue of Guru Padmasambhava. In the south
too are Tendong Hill and Maenam Hill, of mythical importance to the Lepchas and
Bhutias, as well as the tourist destination of Ravangla which hosts the annual
Pang Lhabsol festival with great pageantry. Namchi is the district headquarter
of South Sikkim which is 78 kms from Gangtok.
North Sikkim
Perhaps the most beautiful of the districts, the
North offers an exquisite experience for the lover of Nature and alpine
scenery. Yumthang alone is enough to satiate the most demanding, with its
panoramic Valley of Flowers. During springtime the lush meadows abound with
delicate wildflowers that carpet the Valley floor in a rich riot of colors. A
must-see here are the Hot Springs and the vibrant Sikkimese tribal culture and
customs. 67 kms from Gangtok is the Mangan District Headquarter of North
District.
