This beautiful state of Sikkim, in the lap of the Himalayas, is still a well-kept secret. Its a melting pot of cultures and traditions and with nuances like the quaint villages, gorgeous landscapes, the tea gardens, treks, local life, the golden peaks in the backdrop, it makes for a great experiential travel plan. Sikkim is surrounded by the mighty Himalayas on all sides except the South. However it is the looming presence of the Kanchenjunga, the third highest peak in the world that casts a mystical spell. So lets head out to the 'land of happiness'. Sikkim in Tibetean literally means that.

Chandni A., Travel Blogger @Globetrotting365Days

Travel consultant to Corporates and travel writer. Interestingly, my tryst with discovering new places began as early as when I was 20. For me everything comes from my highs of seeing new places, living and waking up to new sunrises. Traveling not like a tourist, but like a wanderer is what makes my travels different, while others seek security and confidence booking their trips with a tour, I prefer crafting my own travels. Having travelled to 25 different countries, I am your go-to person when you want to discover unknown countries/cities as a local and visit the touristy cities in a non-touristy way. Any country in the world you plan to go to, I can help you with the best travel itineraries and things to do!

If you are a family, couple or even traveling solo I can definitely help you chalk out the most constructive itinerary and include some undiscovered and very off beat places.
