Sikkim Kachenjunga Adventure
Once a Himalayan kingdom, the Sikkim province of India is a wellspring of Himalayan terrain, abundant wildlife, and monasteries. Nestled between Nepal and Bhutan in the shadow of Kachenjunga, the world?s third largest mountain, Sikkim is a trekking paradise for those seeking natural beauty and treasures of hidden kingdoms. Starting off from bustling Calcutta, we make our way the picturesque mountain town of Gangtok.
