Some two-thirds of North Sikkim consists of perpetually snow-covered mountains, dominated by the Kanchenjunga massif. The residents of North Sikkim have traditionally viewed the mountain as both a god and the abode of gods. Due to its location near the Chinese border the place is mostly controlled by the Indian Army and many areas require special permits if one wants to visit them. In “North Sikkim” traveler will get a chance to visit some spectacular places of North Sikkim like Gurudongmar Lake, Yumthung Valley & Zero Point.
