Sikkim Program:

Sikkim, an extremely mountainous region in the eastern Himalayas, is spread below the world's third highest mountain Khanchendzonga (8585m) revered by the Sikkimese as their protective deity. Though measuring just 65 km by 115 km - the size of Switzerland - it ranges from sweltering deep valleys - a mere 300m above sea level to lofty snow peaks such as Khanchendzonga.

Formerly an independent kingdom, since 1975 it has been a tiny land-locked
province to India.

Sikkim has 600 species of birds, or about half of the over 1200 species to be found in India.

We made an eight days trekking into the Tholung Valley, an area never visited by any (western) birder.
