If someone visit Sikkim and misses to go for trekking among its challenging foothills, then he must be missing a major attraction of the state. Government there, now encouraging the trekkers to cover out the terrain of Sikkim with their bravery skills, just to develop tourism and encourage tourist inflow.

Sikkim the tiny Himalayan state is a wonderland by all accounts. Overlooked by Mt. Kanchenjunga, the world’s third highest peak,

Sikkim is attractive equally for the sightseer, the adventure sports enthusiast and those interested in Buddhism and Tibetology. From a low of 800 ft. above sea level to the Summit of Mt. Kanchendzonga (28,169 ft.), the guardian deity of Sikkim and the third highest peak in the world. Mountains criss-cross the country that is rich in flora and fauna, stunning mountains, beautiful valleys, clear lakes and lush evergreen forests. In high altitudes where yaks graze are found the snow leopard, the blue sheep, goral, tahr and the red panda the state animal of Sikkim.

The well-known trekking routes are Nayan Bazar- Pemayangtse-Yaksum-Dzongri or Rangpo-Gangtok-Yaksum-Dzongri. In Sikkim trekking is allowed by the Indian Tourist development Corporation and a liason officer or guide provided by the government of Sikkim.
