The state of Sikkim is a small state in the eastern Himalayas, bounded by Tibet to the north, Nepal on the west, Bhutan to the east and {West Bengal} to its south. Rich in vegetation and in snowfall, it is home to many indigenous people. The Lepchas, the Bhutias and other mountain people constitute much of the population. Migrants from Nepal are in large number as well. Gangtok, Rumtek, and Bakkhim are some of the important cities in Sikkim.
