The legendary land of Sikkim was an independent kingdom becoming the part of the republic of India. Flanked between Nepal to the west, Bhutan to the east and Tibet to the North, Sikkim is extremely mountainous. Sikkim’s avifauna is typically eastern Himalayan with Palearctic species predominating in the largely inaccessible regions in the far North.
