Mountain Biking in Sikkim
Sikkim, for many years isolated from the foreigners, still maintains the old-world atmosphere in view of the world’s 3rd highest peak, Kanchanjunga.
Sikkim and Darjeeling seem more connected to Nepal and Tibet than India. Their culture and heritage is unique and in itself was a Kingdom just like Nepal & Bhutan. Darjeeling has been a very popular hill station since the empirical British raj. Here you will find yourself surrounded by mountain people from all over the eastern Himalayas who have migrated to work, to trade, or, in the case of the Tibetans, as refugees.
An exotic place Sikkim offers sight of Buddhist monasteries, lush tea gardens and exciting winding trails for biking.
Though you can start and end your tour to and from Calcutta, but to begin from and end in Kathmandu is always rewarding.
