The Hidden Himalayas
Experience the best of the Himalayas. This 19 day tour starts from the magical Kingdom of Bhutan, dramatically giving way to the lost Buddhist Kingdom of Sikkim, now in India. From Sikkim, travel to Nepal, home of the Everest.
Sikkim
Sikkim is a landlocked Indian state nestled in the Himalayas. It is the least populous state in India, and the second smallest in area. Sikkim was an independent state ruled by the Namgyal monarchy, but following administrative problems and the public's sentiment for union with India, a referendum was held in 1975 in which the people of Sikkim chose union with India bringing an end to the absolute monarchy and ushered in a democratic government within the Constitution of India.The thumb-shaped state borders Nepal in the west, the Chinese Tibet Autonomous Region to the north and east, and Bhutan in the south-east.
The predominant religions are Hinduism and Vajrayana Buddhism. Gangtok is the capital and largest town.
Despite its tiny size, Sikkim is geographically diverse, owing to its location on the Himalaya. The climate ranges from subtropical to high alpine. Kanchenjunga, the world's third highest peak, is located in the north western part of the state on the boundary with Nepal, and can be seen from most parts of the state.Sikkim has become one of India's most visited states, owing to its reputation of cleanliness, scenic beauty and political stability.
Nepal
For a small territory, the Nepali landscape is uncommonly diverse, ranging from the humid Terai in the south to the lofty Himalayas in the north. Nepal boasts eight of the world's top ten highest mountains, including Mount Everest, which is located near the Chinese border. The country is famous for: tourism, trekking, hiking, camping, mountain biking, national wildlife parks, jungle safaris, river rafting, sport fishing, and its many beautiful temples and places of worship.
Kathmandu is the capital and largest city.
