I take you through the beautiful landscapes. Here's the last Vlog from my recent trip to Sikkim. I had a great time in Gangtok, while visiting the nearby places. I explored some new things. For those of you who want to plan a visit, here's a list of places we visited. 

Gangtok - This is your first pit stop typically if you're arriving either by Rail / Flight to Bagdogra / Siliguri. The city is bustling and a hub for many other towns and villages across Sikkim. You will find a few shops at MG Marg a crowded and bustling street. Do try a few restaurants for some Tibetan / Nepali food here. Gangtok is a hill town and at various levels along the mountain slope. The altitude varies between 1600 to 2000 mts or so.  Also of course, a visit to Sikkim isn't complete without a visit to a buddhist monastery so do visit Rumtek Monastry and The institute of Tibetology when here. Carry light clothing if going between July to Oct as the temperature is very temperate and heavier clothing in other months as it gets much colder.

Sikkim : Sikkim is a state in northeast India, bordered by Bhutan, Tibet and Nepal. Part of the Himalayas, the area has a dramatic landscape that includes India’s highest mountain, 8,586m Kangchenjunga. Sikkim is also home to glaciers, alpine meadows and thousands of varieties of wildflowers. Steep paths lead to hilltop Buddhist monasteries such as Pemayangtse, which dates to the early 1700s.
