Steem Women Club Engagement Contest 2 || Plan for Travel || My Dream Tour - SIKKIM,GANGTOK

Thanks to Steem Women Club for such a beautiful contest. I am a traveler. I always travel to different places. But never toured outside the country. I would like to tour outside the country. That is why I want to go to Sikkim first. I have already prepared the complete tour guide for Sikkim which I will share with you today. It's my Dream Tour.

Gangtok is the capital and largest city in the northeastern Indian state of Sikkim. Gangtok is located at an altitude of 1438 Himalayan range. It is impossible to describe the natural beauty of this city of only 30,000 inhabitants. Sikkim is one of the Himalayan provinces of India, with Gangtok as its capital. Gangtok is located in the middle of the high peaks of the Himalayas in a pleasant and comfortable environment. The easiest way to get to Megha's home in Sikkim is to go around Gangtok. If it is Sikkim for the first time, there is no question. Gangtok is absolutely a 'must'. Sikkim means climbing up the hill road. It is often referred to as " Eastern Switzerland" for its alpine beauty. So it is impossible to complete the huge Sikkim tour in 7-8 days.

Total Cost Estimate

💱 23000-25000 BDT(500-600 STEEM)

I am always in favor of traveling more for less money. So I will try to get around the whole city including Siliguri, Gangtok, Lachung, and Changu Lake for less money.
