Located in the Himalayan mountains, bordered by Nepal on the West, Tibet on the North-East, Bhutan on the East and West Bengal to its South, Sikkim is a hilly abode of the Hindus, the Buddhists and the Nepalese in northeast India. With so many different communities living together, life in Sikkim is a never ending festivity. These festivals are unlike what we celebrate in rest of the parts of India. Sikkimese life and culture is calm, unique, and blurs the line of socio-religious distinction.
It’s the last month of year 2015 and the month of Kanchenjunga Tourism Festival in Sikkim. It is a festival of adventures celebrated every year from 25th December to 31st in Pelling, Sikkim. The celebration rocks with adrenalin-driving activities such as water rafting, kayaking, trekking, mountain biking, etc. The festival is named after the guardian deity of Sikkim. The festival is an initiative by Sikkim Tourism to promote their region and the Sikkimese culture. The festival also includes flower exhibition, traditional craft and ethnic food and costume stalls.
