🏔️ Explore the Remote Majesty of Sikkim and India’s Enchanting Northeast
Tucked between Nepal, Bhutan, Tibet (China), and the Indian plains, Sikkim is one of the most spectacular and culturally rich destinations in the Himalayas. This detailed, double-sided travel map by ITMB (International Travel Maps) is your essential guide to navigating not only the breathtaking alpine beauty of Sikkim, but also the broader and often overlooked Northeast region of India.
On one side, you'll find a highly detailed map of Sikkim at 1:135,000 scale — showcasing its dramatic mountain roads, hill stations, high-altitude monasteries, and natural sanctuaries. The reverse side provides an expansive regional view at 1:1,500,000, covering the surrounding states of West Bengal, Bihar, Assam, Meghalaya, and parts of Nepal, Bhutan, and Myanmar (Burma).
