Our dedicated travel desk in Gangtok arranges for all permits for the guests to this route and we have the most modern homestays with facilities like 24-hour power supply for the guests at 12,000 feet. The Silk Route through Sikkim is a true wonder and we have been to some of the most uncharted parts of this route to discover the true gems of this wonderful land. We have trekked to abandoned army bunkers to trace the Silk Route, we have seen the mighty Brahmaputra River lacing like golden ribbon across the horizon and we have experienced sunshine touching us moments before touching Mt. We also chased wild ducks in Nathang valley, herded some yaks and ate the Chupri (Yak cheese) to keep ourselves warm. If you still have some last drops of adventure left in your blood and if you still nourish your childhood dream of discovering an unknown land, then we’d meet you in Sikkim’s ancient South West Silk route to discover yourself.

The Silk Route or Silk Road refers to a network of ancient trade routes connecting Asia, Europe and Africa. Extending more than 6,500 kms, the Silk Route was majorly used to transport Chinese Silk to Europe through Central Asia from 2nd Century BC. However, many trade routes (both sea and land routes) existed in much earlier times that connected the main Silk Route and traded in different commodities ranging from salt to gold. Silk Route’s greatest contribution to world history was not mere trading of few commodities but exchange of ideas, art and science between Asia, Europe and Africa. It was the world’s first information superhighway.
Greek art from Europe flowed into India whereas Buddhism from India reached out to the world through the Silk Route. Chinese travelers like Fa Hein (Faxian), Hiuen Tsang (Xuanxang) and others visited India through these ancient routes and Marco Polo witnessed the grandeur of the Chinese civilization while traveling through the silk route. The Arabs took the knowledge of mathematics and medicine from India and China and worked on it to bring up new sciences like Algebra, which were adopted by Europe in due course. New cities and empires grew along the Silk Route and world power shifted from hand to hand. History of the world was re-shaped along this route and world population for the first time started exchanging ideas on a scale that was unheard of. The habits, cultures and livelihoods of the world population were influenced by knowledge and ideas brought from different lands. Obscure cities like Lhasa became the seat of religious power and emerged as one of the finest cities in the remotest corners of the Himalayas. The advent of Silk Route is one the most remarkable events in world history. Almost all Ancient Trade routes across Asia and Europe merged with the Silk Route at some point and the whole network of trade routes became the world’s first international cultural phenomenon.
