North Sikkim Tour

September-December and March-June

In this remote region close to the border of Tibet and mostly untouched by the outside world the mystical and shamanism lifestyle of the Lepchas and Bhutias are still alive here. Out ride leads us up through bamboo groves and cardamom fields to the broad valley of Yumthang. The river Teesta that becomes one of the main feeders of the holy Ganges down in the flatlands of India originates here.
The Teesta hot springs are said to have powerful healing properties. For nature friends north Sikkim is a true parades. Untouched rhododendron jungles, presenting themselves in red, pink, yellow, purple and white and dispersing a concert of beautiful fragrances from May to June. Meadows are full of blue moon and mighty Granite Mountains whose snowcapped peaks mark the border to Tibet.
