The small state of Sikkim, greatly influenced by the Tibetan Buddhist culture, is a great place to visit. Set in the country’s northeastern region, the location shares border with Nepal, Tibet, and Bhutan, and boasts natural elegance. The area is home to Kanchenjunga — India’s highest mountain. Plus, it boasts eye-catching wildflowers, alpine meadows, glaciers, and a vertical terrain that sometimes makes it hard to explore. Nevertheless, there are many outdoor activities for you to indulge in, such as water rafting, hiking, and visiting wildlife sanctuaries. Furthermore, perched on the hills are some ancient Buddhist monasteries — a must-see. And just as there is no shortage of ways to spend your time here, there is an abundance of homestays and cozy hotels to suit all tastes. You’ll find cozy accommodations away from urban noises, properties close to places of interest, bed and breakfasts, and more. Check out our list of the best homestays in Sikkim, India.
