Offbeat Places In Sikkim That You Must Visit
by Kanika Sharma Travel BloggerIndia is a country that is rightly called the “Land of
Diversity.” One cannot only find diversity in religion or culture, but it also
has diverse landscapes. Right from the far-stretched Thar Desert in the
Northwestern part of India to the labyrinth of backwaters in the Southwestern
part. One can see entirely different places in India because it has been
blessed by Mother Nature in abundance. One such state is Sikkim which has
unmatched glory. Earlier Sikkim, along with sister states, was not much hyped
when it came to having a perfect travel destination, but these days, Sikkim is
living its best and many from all over the country are seeking a calm and
soothing vacation here. Sikkim tour
packages are available for people looking for an ideal travel holiday.
Though the state is enjoying lots of tourists, there are
still some places that are less explored and are probably hidden from the sight
of many. These offbeat places can be your ideal spot and they may redefine
natural beauty in your dictionary. So, if you are planning your next vacation
to Sikkim, make sure to at least visit a couple of these offbeat places that
are listed below:
Ravangla
The first place on the list is Ravangla which is located in
the middle of Gangtok and Pelling. Set at a height of 7000 feet from sea level,
Ravangla can be your visual treat. The sunrise and sunset experienced here will
beat all other places. The place is also one of the best places for trekking.
As it is less explored, there stay a lot of hidden trails, but the starting
point is Maenam Wildlife Sanctuary. One can have amazing views of Kanchenjunga
and many Himalayan birds that can only be found here. In every manner, Ravangla
is a place that is going to be your travel delight.
Kaluk
Sikkim is still a state that is untouched by humans and that
is reflected in its nature, landscapes, and many other things. This is one of
the reasons that Sikkim is filled with villages. These villages often get
ignored by tourists for not being the perfect tourist spot, but villages in
Sikkim are a paradise for nature lovers. One such village is Kaluk. The village
is calm and soothing with picture-perfect hills as the backdrop. Though the
view to Kanchenjunga is common in the entire state, the view from Kaluk is
something you wouldn’t have imagined.
Dzongu
Dzongu is the place where live the original inhabitants of
Sikkim, Lepchas. The place is nestled with mountains in the west and Chu and
Teesta Rivers in the East. The number of residents is very less and one can
only visit the place by taking the Sikkim
Tourism office’s permission. The place has dense forests, waterfalls,
fields, and every single thing you can find in the book of Nature.
Apart from these three places, there are more offbeat and
unexplored places in Sikkim. They are untouched by human activity and this is
one of the reasons that they enjoy Nature’s pure beauty.
