FESTIVALS OF SIKKIM
“Small things sometimes mean a whole lot” and
rightly so! The second smallest state of India and the
least populous of all, Sikkim, is one of the most
desired places to visit on any traveller’s list. Not only
because of its immaculate beauty, gushing rivers,
mountainous terrains, exotic flora and fauna,
panoramic views of mighty Himalayas, or blissful
silence on towering heights, but also because of the
fervorous festivals of Sikkim
LASOONG OR SIKKIMESE
YEAR
This festival in Sikkim brings the new
year to the state according to the Tibetan
calendar. A 4-day merrymaking period
celebrates the bountiful post-harvest
period for farmers. It occurs on 27th
December
DRUPKA TESHI

celebrates Lord Buddha’s teaching of 4 noble truths to
his first five disciples in Sarnath, at a deer park.
