SIKKIM: A WINDOW TO
HIMALAYA
SIKKIM – land of
enchanting
tranquility
Sikkim is a wonderland in the bosom
of Eastern Himalayas with its avant-
garde surroundings and spectacular
tableau of The Shangri-La and Mt.
Kanchenjunga, making it a charming
land representing a concoction of
Buddhism and Tibetology. Everywhere
you look, you’ll find Buddhist
monasteries and ruby clad monks,
whose smiles awaken the love for
peace in your heart.
Long a sovereign
political entity, Sikkim
became a protectorate of
India in 1950 and an
Indian state in 1975. Its
small size
notwithstanding, Sikkim
is of great political and
strategic importance for
India.
BECAUSE OF ITS LOCATION
ALONG SEVERAL
INTERNATIONAL BOUNDARIES.
RELIEF
FEATURES
Sikkim is a basin surrounded on
three sides by precipitous mountain
walls. Within a stretch of roughly 50
miles (80 km), the land rises from
an elevation of about 750 feet (225
meters) in the Tista River valley to
nearly 28,200 feet (8,600 metres)
at Kanchenjunga, India’s highest
peak and the world’s third highest
mountain
THE PEAKS:
Some two-thirds of Sikkim consists of
perpetually snow-covered mountains,
dominated by the Kanchenjunga massif.
The legendary Abominable Snowman, or
yeti, called Nee-gued in Sikkim, is believed
to roam its slopes. Other major peaks—all
above 23,000 feet (7,000 metres)—include
Tent, Kabru, and Pauhunri..
DRAINAGE
AND CLIMATE
• The Sikkim basin is drained by the Tista
River and its tributaries, such as the
Rangit, Lhonak, Talung, and Lachung.
• Sikkim exhibits a variety of climatic
types, from almost tropical conditions
in the south to severe mountain
climates in the north.
• Depending on elevation and exposure,
annual precipitation varies from 50 to
200 inches
.
.
PLANT AND ANIMAL
More than two-fifths of Sikkim is forested.
Sal (a type of hardwood), pandanus, palms,
bamboos, ferns, and orchids are common in
the subtropical forests . Sikkim has a rich and
varied animal life, including black bears,
brown bears, red pandas, numerous species
of deer,etc. Birdlife includes pheasants,
partridges, quail, eagles, barbets, Himalayan
cuckoos, etc. Sikkim has several national
parks and a number of wildlife sanctuaries,
which provide a protected environment for
the state’s diverse flora and fauna.
POPULATION
AND
CULTURE
1. Sikkim is India's least populous state, with
607,688 inhabitants . Sikkim is also one of the
least densely populated Indian states, with
only 86 persons per square kilometer.
2. Roughly three-fourths of Sikkim’s residents
are Nepalese in origin; most speak a Nepali
(Gorkhali) dialect and are Hindu in religion
and culture. About one-fifth of the
population consists of Scheduled Tribes.
3. The most prominent of these tribal groups
are the Bhutia, the Lepcha, and the Limbu.
4. There is a notable Christian minority in
Sikkim, as well as a tiny community of
Muslims.
THE FOOD
The food of Sikkim is a rich mixture of
Nepalese, Tibetan and native Sikkimese
food. This blend of the three cultures is
very soothing on the taste buds and
leaves you craving as soon as you drop
your plate. Maize is one of the staple
produce consumed in Sikkim. The
cuisine of Sikkim is majorly non-
vegetarian. A lot of vegetables are
fermented to preserve them for a
longer time.
THUKPA
• Thukpa is a kind of noodle soup of Tibetan origin that has found its way to being one of the most
loved food in Sikkim.
• Thukpa is something that is very healthy and tasty at the same time .
SHA PHALEY
• Everyone loves bread, everyone loves meat, everyone loves the deep-fried stuff, and Sha Phaley
has all three.
• Bread stuffed with ground beef and cabbage made into semi-circles and then deep-fried is
everything that you need to know about this famous food of Sikkim.
DAL BHAT
Dal Bhat is nothing but a Lentil Soup with Rice. Dal Bhat is a staple food in
Sikkim which is served with tarkari (vegetable curry) or meat and chutney.
Dal Bhat interestingly is a staple in many kinds of cuisines from South Asia.
CLOTHING
THE CLOTHING OF SIKKIM SHOWS A DIVERSITY AND EXEMPLIFIES SOCIAL AND
CULTURAL LIVES OF THE THREE MAIN RESIDENT COMMUNITIES - THE LEPCHAS,
BHUTIAS AND THE NEPALIS. HERE ARE SOME TRADITIONAL DRESSES WORN BY
SIKKIMESE .
The Thokro-Dum is the
primary outfit for the
Lepcha community
members. It consists of a
white pyjama stretching up
to the calves. Yenthatse, a
Lepcha shirt and Shambo,
an embroidered cap are
paired with it.
The main costume donned
by Bhutias is the Bakhu. It
is a loose cloak-like garb
which is tied at the neck
and tightened around the
waist by a belt made of silk
or cotton. Worn by men
and women alike, Bakhu is
very similar to the Tibetan
Chuba
The traditional attire of
Lepcha women involves a
sari-like garment known as
Dumvum or Dumyam. It is
an ankle-length outfit, silky
and smooth binding
comfort and culture
together. Underneath, a
loose-fitting blouse in a
contrasting color is worn
known as Tago.
FAMOUS
PERSONALITIES
Famous Personalities of
Sikkim have glorified the
name of their homeland in
varied sectors with success.
Be it science, films, social-
work, sports, dance,
literature, or anything, the
Sikkimese have excelled
without any limitations.
Born in a small village in Sikkim to
farmer parents, Baichung bhutia’s
sheer talent took him to the greatest
of successes. From being the second
Indian footballer to professionally
play in Europe to wear the captain’s
jersey for the Indian football team,
he has done it all.
Danny Denzongpa was
one of Hindi cinema’s
favorite villains of the
70s and 80s. Born in
Gangtok, Danny did his
schooling from the state
capital. Alumni of Film
and Television Institute
of India (FTTI), he soon
joined the film industry.
Apart from being part of
numerous Hindi films,
Danny also has to his
credit the famous
international film
“Seven Years in Tibet”.
A reputed fashion designer, Omi Gurung was born and
brought up in Sikkim. Before becoming a full-time designer, he
worked as a fashion editor. He owns a very popular eco-
friendly boutique called Green Gangtok.
If you follow English news channels in
India, you would have definitely come
across Karma Paljor’s face. He is a regular
newsreader and journalist for CNN-News
18. He did his schooling from Tashi
Namgyal Academy in Gangtok.

VISITING
SIKKIM
The tag line of Sikkim Tourism is the most
apt "Small but Beautiful". This small north
eastern state is no less than heaven on
earth. With the places like
Gangtok,Changu lake,Nathu la pass,
etc...the place is unforgettable. North
Sikkim is the best. The views were great
on the way from Gangtok to Lachung.
North Sikkim is rightly called the
'Switzerland of the East'. On the way to
Lachung, the sight of waterfalls from the
hills and the river teesta flowing below
were breathtaking. The place is so surreal,
untouched, spiritual and colourful, its just
a paradise..

  • 15. VISITING SIKKIM The tag line of Sikkim Tourism is the most apt "Small but Beautiful". This small north eastern state is no less than heaven on earth. With the places like Gangtok,Changu lake,Nathu la pass, etc...the place is unforgettable. North Sikkim is the best. The views were great on the way from Gangtok to Lachung. North Sikkim is rightly called the 'Switzerland of the East'. On the way to Lachung, the sight of waterfalls from the hills and the river teesta flowing below were breathtaking. The place is so surreal, untouched, spiritual and colourful, its just a paradise..
