North Sikkim is where heaven meets earth, where elements dominate the landscape, where silence can be heard, where vision tends to travel beyond the horizon, where the soul begins to meditate—unknowingly, the mind is rejuvenated—and where you must bow. Your journey to North Sikkim will be full of unfamiliar experiences. It will start from Gangtok, the capital of Sikkim. As your road winds upwards to North Sikkim, the landscape changes rapidly on every curve, with the thick smell of wildflowers, mossy trees, mists coiling up from the deep gorges, a huge snow range embossed in the horizon, widespread valleys, a deep blue sky, and a lonely prayer flag-waving leisurely at the distant top.
