About Sikkim
Sikkim is India’s highest state, with peaks above 6,330 meters (21,000 feet). Kanchenjunga (8,500 meters/28,200 feet), the third highest summit in the world, is believed to be the abode of a god of the same name, a fiery character with a red face who wears a crown made of five skulls and rides a snow lion. Legend has it that, at the peak, this god buried five sacred treasures — salt, gems, sacred books, medicines and a suit of armour.
