High peaks and glaciers of Sikkim, India. See the hanging glaciers on the peak above!

High Himalayan peaks of north Sikkim along the barren stark Tibetan Plateau at a point where it enters into Indian territory! You can drive for miles with no road, on the open plateau-lands here... Finger area and Gurudongmar lie in the region.

The prominent peaks of north Sikkim include Pauhunri (7,128 metres), Chomiomo (6,829 metres), Sentinel Peak (6,470 metres) and Langpo (6,950 metres).

Sikkim is a landlocked Indian state located in the Himalayan mountains. The state borders Nepal to the west, China's Tibet Autonomous Region to the north and east, and Bhutan to the southeast. The Indian state of West Bengal lies to the south. With around 607,000 inhabitants as of 2011, Sikkim is the least populous state in India and the second-smallest state after Goa in total area, covering approximately 7,096 km2 (2,740 sq mi). Sikkim is nonetheless geographically diverse due to its location in the Himalayas; the climate ranges from subtropical to high alpine, and Kangchenjunga, the world's third-highest peak, is located on Sikkim's border with Nepal.[6] Sikkim is a popular tourist destination, owing to its culture, scenery and biodiversity. It also has the only open land border between India and China. Sikkim's capital and largest city is Gangtok.
