A wonderfull place to visit .One should stay in ganktok ,the capital of sikim and explore the beuty of sikim .better to avoid during monsoon due to severe landslide on the way from NEW JALPAIGURI Rail Way stn to Ganktok (about 80 km) Take a jeep and go to NATHULA PASS a INDO CHINA border place wher u can find the ancient silk rout some thing 5000 years old where indian and chinees used to trade .The place is arround 13000'ft above sea level .partly covered with snow .if u are lucky then u can have chinees tea made of a harbal leaf cause they are very friendly .Take permission from Ganktok official ,easily avilable before going to Nathula Pass .u can same day return to Ganktok .lastly if u donot take the Tibetian food in Ganktok then u are missing something special .take plenty of digital photos and send to ur friends via mail .Asim Baran Boral,Ahmedabad,abboral@gmail.com
