It has been over a year since I last visited the heavenly Himalayan state of Sikkim. In fact, that was my first visit to Sikkim and I was on my solo all India motorcycle journey.
I still have very vivid memories of my time here when I visited the Tsomgo (Changu) Lake in East Sikkim, Yumthang Valley and Gurudongmar Lake in North Sikkim, Pemayangtze Monastery, Rabdantse Ruins, Khecheopari Lake, Singshore Bridge and Pelling in West Sikkim and got caught in a snow storm in the cold Himalayan deserts on the upper stretches of North Sikkim.
This time I have been invited by Club Mahindra to travel with their team to their property near Gangtok. During this trip, I will be in the company of travel writers and photographers, most of whom I already know through their respective travel blogs.
This will be a brilliant opportunity for me to put faces to names and to enjoy the company of like minded souls and all this while I get to enjoy pristine nature in the Himalayan Kingdom of Sikkim.
And hopefully a lot of interesting posts and photos from Sikkim…soon!
