Trip to the Paradise of Sikkim

In the East Side of India lies a paradise, where clouds dance around the peaks, night constellations are easily visible in clear sky, rivers keep on chattering with the rocks to create a soundtrack, clear lake-beds and peaceful monasteries where you can attain spiritual solace. It's beautiful, it's enchanting, it's enigmatic, its Sikkim.
