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.
