“I had a 3 day trip up to north Sikkim and this was definitely a highlight. It was such a spectacular landscape which changed every part of the day. You go through rocky areas which look like the moon, then through all the rhododendrons which seem to go for miles and so many varied colours, also varied small flowers dotted around the place. Then rivers, takes, mountains it was fabulous. It is a long drive from Gangtok but consider a 3 day trip to fit everything in. Exceptional scenery! Enjoy.” ~ Helena C.,London, United Kingdom
