| A
land - where haven touches the earth, the ambience creates
mystery, landscape dominated by elements, silence can be heard,
vision tends to travel beyond the horizon, soul starts meditating-
unknowingly, mind gets rejuvenated; and a land that makes
you bow.
North Sikkim is the northern district of
Sikkim. Mongan is the district headquarter of North Sikkim.
At an altitude of 3950 ft the town is located at a distance
of 65 km from Gangtok, the state capital. Tourists need special
permits to visit North Sikkim beyond Mangan. North Sikkim
can be visited only as part of an organized tour.
The road from Mangan goes straight to Chungthang,
another major town of North Sikkim. At 5,600 ft. Chungthang
is 95 km from Gangtok. From here the road bifurcates. The
road to the left goes to Lachen and the road to the right
reaches Lachung. Lachen is the base from where tours to Gurudongmar
lake and Chopta valley is organised. Lachung on the other
hand is the base for your tours to Yumthang valley.
Your
journey to North Sikkim - a land full of unfamiliar experiences
- starts from Gangtok, the capital of Sikkim. Landscape changes
rapidly on every curve, as your road winds upwards. With thick
smell of wild flowers, mossy trees, streams rushing down,
mists coiling up from the deep gorges, sudden flashy flight
of colourful birds, huge snow range embossed in the horizon,
wide spread valley, deep blue sky, lonely prayer flag waving
leisurely at the distant top - you are on your way to a different
destination.

Sikkim includes all these places and gives you a much-desired
break from the madding city life. A dream-come-true and never-before
opportunity to explore the pristine and virgin landscape of
a remote high altitude plateau now comes right to your desktop.
Just click your mouse and set out for an unforgettable experience
with naturebeyond.
note: Almost the entire zone of North Sikkim
comes under the restricted territory, foreigner's visit beyond
Thangu is prohibited.
Tourism in the region is at a nascent stage and guests may
not get the same level of service in north-sikkim as they
would in other parts of the region. |
