Question

information about sikkim mountain​

Answer 1

Answer:

he Himalayas surround the northern, eastern and western borders of Sikkim. The Chola range divide Sikkim from Tibet in the Northeast and Bhutan in the Southeast while the Singelila range separate it from Nepal in the West and the the Greater Himalayan range forming the barrier to Tibet in the North. Mt Khangchendzonga lies in the Northwest of Sikkim and is not only the third highest mountain in the world - and the highest in India - but also the abode of the guardian deity of Sikkim and therefore considered very sacred by the people. Besides many high peaks, many of which remain unnamed till date, there are 80 glaciers, 227 high-altitude lakes (including Tsomgo, Gurudongma and Khechoperi), five major hot springs and more than 100 rivers and streams and many waterfalls. Eight mountain passes connect the state to Tibet, Bhutan and Nepal, though none of these are open for visitor-traffic.
