Sikkim is a state in northeastern India, bordered by Bhutan to the east, Tibet to the north and west, and Nepal to the west. The state's capital and largest city is Gangtok. Sikkim is part of the Eastern Himalayan biodiversity hotspot and has one of India's richest biodiversity zones.
The state is among the smallest in India, with an area of 7,096 km² (2,740 sq mi). Sikkim is characterized by rugged mountains, valleys, lakes, and alpine meadows. The Kangchenjunga range, which includes the world's third-highest peak, forms the western border of the state.

The best time to visit Sikkim is during the spring (March to May) and autumn (October to November) seasons. During these months, the weather is pleasant with clear skies, making it ideal for sightseeing and outdoor activities. The summer months (June to September) experience monsoon rains which can cause landslides but offer lush green landscapes. Winters (December to February) are cold, especially in higher altitudes, but provide opportunities for snow activities.
