Well, a hill station is beautiful even at its remotest corners.

Well, when there are discussions about mountains, one place whose beauty is never concentrated to specific tourist locations and is equally mesmerising in the remote areas in Sikkim. The place is huge when it comes to geographical boundaries, even though it seems small because it is divided into four parts: East, West, North, and South Sikkim.
