Answer:
1. Skiing
When it comes to the Indian Himalayas, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand are the forerunners and places like Sikkim are often overlooked. But being the home to the third highest mountain in the world- Mount Kanchenjunga, its thick snow cover and tall mountains make skiing in Sikkim the perfect dream come true. Recently Sikkim Mountaineering Association has introduced snow skiing at two destinations- Phuni in Lachung and Yumthang to slowly help get Sikkim the attention it deserves is one of the best skiing destinations in India.
. 2 River rafting
With massive mountains and immense glaciers come beautiful winding, free-flowing rivers. These rivers are not only carriers of a whole different ecology, their gentle tides and ferocious rapids also give adventure tourism a huge boost with adventure lovers craving to get their paddles on! Sikkim’s River Rangit is a perfect balance of soft and hard rapids coupled with night camping on its beautiful sandy beaches, making it a haven for newbies and experts alike.
Mountaineering
.Home to the mighty Kanchenjunga, it is of little surprise that mountaineering in Sikkim is also a flourishing adventure sport. Although most expeditions in Sikkim require a permit, there are many still that are open for the general public to climb. Some of the most popular mountaineering expeditions in Sikkim include Freys Peak (5830 meters) in West Sikkim, Lama Wangden (5868 meters) and Brumkhangse (5635 meters) in North Sikkim and Mt Khangchendzonga (8586 meters), Mt.Kabru (7412 meters), Mt Siniolchu (6888 meters), Mt. Thingchinkhang (6010 meters), Mt. Jopuno (5936 meters) and Mt. Pandim (6691 meters) amongst many others. Most of these peaks need prior permission but it is worth the wait.
