Sikkim Mountains : " Our moon was almost full.. the nearer snows were but faint and indistinct, while between their pale shadowy masses the whole peak of Kangchenjunga was fully illuminated as by a heavenly seachlight. The rock and ice were transfigured into a silver shrine, a visionary emblem of purity and aspiration. The worship of Kangchenjunga at that moment seemed very reasonable service." Round Kangchenjunga by Douglas Freshfield 1899.

The Herdsmen of Lhonak : "... here the colourings are those of the fiery desert.. while the climate is that of the poles. Never in the course of all my wanderings, had my eye rested on a scene so dreary and inhospitable." Himalayan Journals by Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker

The Herdsmen of Lhonak

Sikkim Valleys : " The last gleams of sunset were fading from earth and sky... Before us stretched the Indian plain, behind us rose the Himalayas. A range of towering cumulus clouds rested on the foothills, their crests sharply outlined against the saffron sky. Grand, solid and immovable they rose, seeming as eternal as the great mountain range over which they stood watch and ward." The Kanchenjunga Adventure, Frank Smythe.

Sikkim Monasteries : "Throughout Sikkim, we were roused each morning at day break by this wild music... To me it was deeply impressive, awakening me so effectually to the strangeness of the wild land in which I was wandering." Himalayan Journal by Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker.
