Therefore, it ills me with delight and gratiication both in bringing out this issue. The focus of the magazine for this month is the environment and the natural marvels that Sikkim has been abundantly blessed with. It is a serious and a signiicant topic because there is an absolute need for everyone to fathom how every action and activity of ours has a direct impact on the environment. We need to acknowledge and accept that the damage that we cause to nature is a damage we cause to ourselves. The month of June is especially signiicant for a biodiversity rich State like Sikkim, as numerous environment sustaining activities conceptualized by our environmentally cognizant Hon’ble Chief Minister, Mr. Pawan Chamling, is held and actively participated in by the people of the State. Sikkim, guided by the Hon’ble Chief Minister is becoming both clairvoyant and cautious.

Lepchas are said to have come from to the region from the Assam and Myanmar ... About Us Brief History on Sikkim Not much is known about Sikkim's ancient history, except for the fact that the first inhabitants were the Lepchas or Rong (ravine folk). Lepchas are said to have come from to the region from the Assam and Myanmar side. During 1200 AD Sikkim was absorbed by other clans from Tibet which included the Namgyal clan, who arrived in the 1400's and steadily won political control over Sikkim. In 1642, Phuntsog Namgyal (1604-1670) became the Chogyal (king). He presided over a social system based on Tibetan Lamaistic Buddhism. His descendants of Phuntsog Namgyal ruled Sikkim for more than 330 years. During the 1700's, Sikkim suffered continuous attacks from Nepal and Bhutan, after which it lost much of its territory. Nepalese also came to Sikkim and settled there as farmers. By the 1800's, Sikkim's population was culturally very complicated, and internal conflict resulted. In 1814-1815, Sikkim backed the British in a successful war against Nepal, and won back some of its territory, once lost. In 1835, the British East India Company acquired the health resort of Darjeeling from Sikkim. During the mid-1800's, Sikkim violently withstand attempts to bring it under British rule, but in 1861 it finally became a British colony.

  • Tourism of Namchi, South District of Sikkim: an Overview
    Science, Technology and Development ISSN : 0950-0707 TOURISM OF NAMCHI, SOUTH DISTRICT OF SIKKIM: AN OVERVIEW Amrita SardarPramanick Research Scholar, Dept. of. Geography, C.M.J. University, Jorabat, Meghalaya, India. Dr.Harsha Kumar Das Gupta Research Guide, Dept. of. Geography, C.M.J. University, Jorabat, Meghalaya, India. Abstract: Needless to say, Sikkim is a wonderful tourist destination of our country. South district of Sikkim is comparatively smaller than three other districts of this state. However, it has some of the most amazing places to visit. The nature lovers, adventurists, as well as the other tourists who are very much interested for angling, rafting, camping, trekking, wildlife exploration etc. find this South district as the most ideal destination for their complete enjoyment as it really acts as a healing agent. The present study deals with the infrastructure, scope and possibility of Namchi as the main tourist focus of South Sikkim. This area has the high natural potential of being an excellent tourist attraction of South Sikkim. But in the field of tourism over grooming is taking place because of the huge investment of private business houses and religious trust foundation. Keywords: tourist destination, trekking, rafting, tourism infrastructure. Introduction In terms of Gross Domestic Product, tourism is the second largest contributory sector in Sikkim. This state provides a wide potential in tourism that has yet largely remained unexploited. The perennially snow-capped mountains, lush green tropical and temperate forests, gurgling streams and the rich flora and fauna are all present there for the tourists to savor. The State Government aims at promoting sustainable tourism and simultaneously encourages the private sectors to develop tourism related infrastructure and services without disturbing ecology and environment and also to reduce the tourist pressure at Gangtok, the capital city of Sikkim.
