The Book
On the eastern border of India, sandwiched between Bhutan and Nepal en route to Tibet, lies one of the last wonderlands of myth and legend. Sikkim has always lured travellers—whether trekkers, pilgrims, botanists, or just people who want a serene break from routine. Photographer Sujoy Das provides rare pictures of the people of Sikkim, mountains, and barren plateaus. Arundhati Ray covers all that a visitor needs to know in order to travel here. In a wonderfully story-telling style, peppered with anecdotes and folk tales, she provides the hard information.
