      Art and craft of Sikkim

      Sikkim provides a wide variety of diverse natural life. The state’s dense forests, which range in climate from tropical to alpine, provide a safe home for a wide variety of wildlife and avifauna, which also includes several threatened species. Furthermore, Sikkim’s biodiversity offers more than 4000 different species of plants, wildlife creatures, and birds, making it a wonderful vacation spot for nature lovers.

      The wetlands in the state mostly enjoy one of the two seasons: wet or dry. Additionally, it is continuously cold here, with temperatures ranging from 14 to 18 degrees Celsius. It is believed that the development of rice, ginger, oranges, and cardamom would be ideally adapted to such a sector.
