Overview
Sikkim and Darjeeling Introduction:
A former Buddhist kingdom still flourishing today under mountain shadow, Sikkim is culturally and naturally rich. Once a part of former Kingdom of Nepal, Sikkim and parts of Darjeeling came under East India company rule and now is under current Indian government rule, after the Sugauli treaty was done to end the Anglo-Nepalese war 1814-16. Nepal lost one third of its land in this treaty, a few parts were later restored as a token of gratitude for helping British suppress Indian rebellion during East India reign. Sikkimesse people still have heavy influence of Nepalese language and culture in their daily life. Sikkim nestles comfortably between the Kingdoms oh Bhutan and Nepal.
