We recently visited Sikkim the exotic land of flowers and towering presence of mountains. Sikkim grows on you. At first it looks similar to the many Himalayan Destinations you have been to and then its magic unfurls. The valleys the steep slopes the high ridges that challenge you to come hither and see what lies beyond. Two places will always be very dear to me in Sikkim Pelling and Tsomgo Lake (check a more recent posting for details). Pelling a small town nestled in the top ridge of a mountain offers spectaular views of the Kanchenjunga Range. We needed to wake up at 5:30 am every morning but the sight was worth it ! These snow covered mountain encompass you and this 'warmth' needs to be felt not sure if it is coming across to you.Kanchenjunga is majestic and elusive. It is the mighty mountain which determines who it discloses its glory to. Yes I can understand what the mountaineers mean when they say the mountain allows you to climb it. Nature rules supreme and its wonderful. From Kabur to Pandim to Kanchenjunga the almost 360 Degree view is mesmerizing. Who needs a camera when your memory stays etched with this glorious sights ... for some things and moments in life just your memory is enough ... You never loose them .. those special moments never get erased. Seeing Kanchenjunga was one such moment ... Yes I can say once again Himalayas are my first love : )))
