Details

This alluring enchantment is precisely what dreams are made of. Sikkim is a landlocked state with a new airport that has recently opened because of its mountainous terrain and no railway feasible because of the steep gradient. Only the determined travelers could start their journey from Bagdogra – the nearest airport (before the current one opened) and Siliguri, the closest railway terminal. Regardless of the starting point, it is still hours of road odyssey through winding and curving road to the capital, Gangtok of this beautiful elevated countryside.
