It`s breathtaking; with the
snow clad Himalayan ranges and deep-blue Yumthang Chu. Visitors
who have been to North Sikkim compare it with the beauty of the
Swiss alpine landscapes, especially, Yumthang, at an altitude of
11,800 feet above sea level.
Recently, North Sikkim with its magnificent mountains
covered with snow and lovely lakes has become a favorite among tourists;
this has provided some relief to the already over loaded destinations
like Tsongo, Gangtok and Pelling.
The state`s tourism minister comments that
the growth of tourism in Sikkim is phenomenal - 15 to 19 per cent
annually for the last 3 years. The state tourism department plans
to set up a tourist resort at Chopta Valley in North Sikkim in addition
to the private lodges that has already come up in the location.
North Sikkim provides the look and feel of the
Swiss Alps without putting to much strain on the pocket. The snow-clad
mountains, primulas, valleys covered with greenery, springs and
yaks grazing peacefully and the hospitable people of North Sikkim;
all combined it makes for a true ingredient of a dream holiday.
In addition, adventure seekers can go for treks to the Green lake
and Phunithoka areas. |
