Sikkim Saga

A Sikkim saga

The Kanchenjunga

Here you’ll discover that life can be slow, simple and stress-free

Sikkim is the ultimate summer getaway for those who want to chill in the quiet company of great weather, the mighty Kanchenjunga mountains, hot momos, and the book you promised yourself you’d to finish. Of course, from the moment we landed in Gangtok, the capital, it was all but a quiet holiday.
As the ‘seasoned’ travellers in the gang, everyone looked to my husband and me for travel guidance. With self-assumed smugness, we attempted to gather the group for some order. But we quickly realised it was a pointless exercise. So, we laid to rest our ‘plans’ and let Sikkim take over.
For the next five days, the Northeastern state, with its mountainous terrain, gurgling brooks, quaint cafés, rustic home stays, and endless alpine meadows took over our senses, in every possible way.
