More then 580 varieties of orchids, over 600 species of butterflies, 552 species of birds can be found in Sikkim. The pristine unspoilt natural beauty includes alpine landscape, thick luxuriant tropical forest, rivers in torrents and peaceful lakes. Sikkim has a very rugged and formidable topography.

Sikkim was earlier a protectorate of India with a monarchy Government but in 1975 it metamorphosed as the 22nd state of the Indian union.
