GEOGRAPHY
OF SIKKIM
WATERFALLS
1.SIKKIM IS PRIMARILY A LAND OF SKY SCRAPING MOUNTAINS.
2. THE LUSH GREEN VEGETATION ON THE MOUNTAIN SIDES
PRESENTS AN EYE-SOOTHING VIEW AND THIS SIGHT IS MADE
MORE PANORAMIC BY THE WATERFALLS IN SIKKIM.
3. MOSTLY PERENNIAL IN NATURE, WATERFALLS ABOUND IN
SIKKIM, SPECIALLY IN THE NORTHERN REGION.
1:: Kanchendzonga waterfalls: This is the
largest waterfall in Sikkim. It is located 15 km
away from Pelling. Water splashes out from
granite rocks in plumes of white in
Kanchendzonga waterfalls. The sound produced
in this voluminous and swift waterfall engulfs all
surrounding noises.
PEAKS
SIKKIM IS A THUMB-SHAPED STATE COVERING 7096
KILOMETERS. EXCEPT FOR A SMALL STRETCH OF
LAND IN THE SOUTHERN REGION, MOST OF THE
PART OF THE STATE HAS RUGGED AND
MOUNTAINOUS TOPOGRAPHY. THIS HAS MADE THE
STATE HIGHLY UNSUITABLE FOR AGRICULTURE. BUT
IN THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COIN, THE PEAKS OF
SIKKIM HAS GIVEN THE LAND PARADISAIC EFFECT
1:: KANGCHENDZONGA: THE NAME MEANS 'HOUSE
OF FIVE TREASURES' AND IT IS REPRESENTED BY
FIVE OF THE TALLEST SUMMITS, THE HIGHEST BEING
8585 M. THIS AWE-INSPIRING MASS OF ROCK
REMAINS SHROUDED BY SNOW FOR MOST PART OF
THE YEAR. THE LOCALS CELEBRATE THE PANG
LHABSOL FESTIVAL ON THE EVE OF ITS SHEDDING
OF MONSOON VEIL IN AUTUMN. THIS MOUNTAIN
RIDGE RUNS FROM NORTH TO SOUTH, SEPARATING
THE TEESTA AND THE RANGEET VALLEY.
BIODIVERSITY
SIKKIM BIODIVERSITY IS A BROAD TOPIC RELATED TO
THE NORTH-EASTERN STATE OF SIKKIM. THE
BIODIVERSITY OF SIKKIM INCLUDES ITS FLORA AND
FAUNA, WHICH AGAIN ENCOMPASSES THE WILDLIFE,
ORCHIDS, BUTTERFLIES, ENDANGERED SPECIES,
FISH, WHICH ARE USED FOR FISHING AND ANGLING,
ALPINE FLOWERS, RHODODENDRONS AND
FORESTS.
THE FLORA OF SIKKIM INCLUDES A WIDE RANGE OF
PLANTS. THERE ARE 4000 VARIETIES OF PLANTS IN
THE STATE. THE FORESTS COVER 36% OF THE TOTAL
GEOGRAPHICAL AREA OF THE STATE OF SIKKIM.
BUTTERFLIES IN SIKKIM ARE KNOWN ACROSS THE
WORLD. THERE ARE COLLECTIONS OF BUTTERFLIES
FROM SIKKIM IN THE NATIONAL HISTORY MUSEUM IN
LONDON AND IN ALMOST ALL MAJOR NATURAL
HISTORY MUSEUMS ACROSS THE WORLD. IT IS NOT
SURPRISING CONSIDERING THE FACT THE SIKKIM
HOUSES 700 DIFFERENT BUTTERFLY SPECIES,
ALMOST HALF OF THE TOTAL NUMBER OF
BUTTERFLY SPECIES FOUND IN THE WHOLE OF ASIA.
THE BUTTERFLIES OF SIKKIM ARE CURRENTLY
FACING ECOLOGICAL THREATS AND MANY ARE ON
THE VERGE OF EXTINCTION. THE GOVERNMENT IS
BEING PARTICULARLY CAREFUL ABOUT PRESERVING
THIS GREAT NATURAL WEALTH OF THE STATE.
