Sikkim Biking Expedition

Oct 22 - 30 '17 | 03:00 PM (IST)

Event Information

The Buddhist Kingdom of Sikkim, one of the most beautiful states of our country, shares boundries with 3 other countries viz. Bhutan, Nepal and Tibet. With unmatched serene locations and an extraordinary culture, every place in Sikkim is a different experience altogether. The presence of Buddhist culture, Himalayan peaks, deserted villages and a constant treat to the eye, you might just want to live here forever. Their laid back lives do feel envious sometimes. You do leave a part of your soul at Sikkim, eager to come back there. Thus, Trekdi helps you introduce the state of Sikkim, covering the most beautiful towns, monasteries and cuisines, as you feel lost in the state of tranquility, at your very own... Sikkim!!
