| Singhik
- North Sikkim
Singhik is located just 2 kms from Mangan
- the district head quarter of North Sikkim and about 70 km
from Gangtok - the capital of Sikkim.
Singhik is a small picturesque hamlet on the North Sikkim Highway
at an altitude of over 6500ft. The place offers one of the most
spectacular and closest views of Kunchenjunga and its ranges.
A well-located Tourist
lodge provides accommodations for the tourists. The lodge commands
a magnificent view of the snow ranges on a clear day. The area
with forested hills and tumbling mountain streams also has a
number of interesting short nature trails along the higher ridges
of the surrounding hills. One can also relish the view of the
most graceful peak in the world-Mt. Siniolchu.
While in Singhik it is worthwhile to go for
the half an hour uphill trek that will take you to the ancient
Singhik monastery. |
