Sikkim: Kanchendzonga And Bhutan

I came across this article today

It looks so pretty, doesn't it? Sikkim is an amazing place. I have seen pictures of the capital Gangtok. It's far cleaner and more beautiful than equivalent places like Ooty in the South.

It has the countries of Bhutan, China, Nepal, Bangladesh (and the Indian states of Assam, Bihar, West Bengal) within about 250km. By Indian standards, 250km is a very small distance. North to south India is about 4000km and east to west it's more than 3000km.

This link (http://www.answers.com/topic/thimphu) gives a good insight into Thimphu. Bhutan is quite clean (in every sense of the word) and quite expensive also. It costs upwards of Rs 10000 per day. The rates are usually all inclusive (hotel + food + jeep + driver/ guide + permits etc), meaning you can't book into a hotel separately, hire a car separately etc.
