Gardens in Sikkim

Truly
a naturalist's delight. The hillsides and mountain slopes of Sikkim are
strewn with bright patches of myriad colours. The lower mountain slopes are
abundant with lush green bamboos and ferns. And the northern valleys are
draped with wild cherry, oaks, chestnuts, pines and white magnolia. The
higher altitudes are abloom with a carpet of rhododendrons with a splendour
of their own. Sikkim's 600 varieties of orchids are a feast for the eye.
INTERNATIONAL FLOWER FESTIVAL
The International Flower Festival is celebrated during March-May, when most
of the state's 600 species of orchids, 240 species of trees and 240 species
of ferns, 150 kinds of gladioli, 46 varieties of the world famous
