Destination Details

Relatively unexplored place, where high altitude tits forages from one tree to another , snow birds chirps around, pheasants moves in a flock, accentors and finches moves on slopes, tibetan sand fox searches for pica/marmot to complete his breakfast..Yes this is North Sikkim. There are very few places in INDIA where you can find that Eastern Himalaya is meeting the Tibetan Pleatue,here in North Sikkim altitude varies from ~6000ft to 17000ft, and the most important thing is that some parts of North Sikkim lies under beautiful high altitude Tibetan Platue, That is the most thrilling part of this birdwatching trip. Though we call it a birdwatching trip, you will get to see various mammals in this trip.
