The topography of this little Himalayan State – Sikkim, a modern day Shangri-La, still uncorrupted by the onrush of civilization, is irresistible. Unwind in settings which are truly spectacular. Here, the snow capped peaks of the mighty Himalayas look down upon quaint hilltop monasteries nestled in lush vegetation and silvery-blue rivers slicing through the valleys below. And in the North-eastern reaches of the country, you can take in the magical hill station of Kalimpong, Pelling and Darjeeling in the neighboring West Bengal.
