Saramsa Garden : Picnic Destinations in Sikkim

By himalayanreview

Saramsa Garden in Ranipool, Sikkim, is a beautiful botanical garden perfect for nature lovers. Spread over acres of land, it has diverse plants from Sikkim and beyond. You'll find various plants here, from colorful orchids to medicinal ones, and plenty of flowers.

The Garden is more popular nowadays as the best picnic destination to enjoy weekend holidays with family and friends. I have personally enjoyed this trip with my son, and the newly installed playground item makes it more enjoyable for kids. Pay Rs. 100 and enjoy a fun time at the Garden. Marriage parties and social functions are other things that attract people to this place. 



Saramsa's peaceful atmosphere and lovely pathways that wind through the greenery make it special. It's a great place for a relaxing stroll or to just sit and enjoy nature's beauty. The garden also has a greenhouse where they care for delicate plants, making exploring it even more interesting.

Besides being a lovely spot for visitors, Saramsa Garden is also an educational place. They organize workshops and programs to teach people about plants and how to care for them. It's a fantastic opportunity to learn surrounded by the stunning natural setting.

For anyone visiting Sikkim, especially those who adore nature or want to learn more about plants, Saramsa Garden is a must-visit. It's a peaceful escape filled with colorful plants and a chance to discover the fascinating world of botany.

This was a national song of Sikkim sung in the Nepali language during the monarchy system. During the merger with India, the song got banned and later re-released. Two words on the 8th para, which earlier said 'Rajah rah Rani,' were replaced with "Janmah bhumi."     This song was dedicated to the King and Queen of Sikkim. The song lyrics were penned by Sanu Lama, and the music was composed by Dushyant Lama.  The song was first sung on the birth anniversary of Chogyal Palden Thondup Namgyal on April 4, 1970, at Gangtok by Aruna Lama, Dawa Lama, and Manikamal Chettri.    JANHA BAGCHA TEESTA RANGIT,  JAHAN KANCHENDZONGA SEER   YEHI HO HAMRO DHANA KO DESH,  TAPAWAN HO PYARO SIKKIM     INTERLUDE     PHULCHAN YEHA AANGANAI MAA,  CHAAP , GURAS, SUNAKHARI   SWARGASARI SUNDAR DESH KO  HAMRO PYARO PYARO JANMAHBHUMI     JANHA BAGCHA……     BATASHLE BOKCHAA YAHA,  TATHAGAT KO AAMAR WAANI ...

The influence of great literary personalities like Lekhnath Poudyal (1884-1965), Lakshmi Prasad Devkota (1909-1965) and Balkrishna Sama (1902-1981) is very much evident on the poets associated with Apatan Sahitya Parishad . This was the time when Parasmani Pradhan , Surya Bikram Gewali and their worthy associates had already had their influences on the young poets. ‘The tide of awakening had swept throughout the area like Sikkim , Darjeeling, Benares and Dehradun . During the second and third decade of 20th century Dharanidhar Koirala’s ‘ Naibedya ’ (1920), Mahananda Sapkota’s ‘ Mana Lahari ’ (1920) marked a break with the traditi...

Risley, in his book, “The Gazetteer of Sikkim (1884), while reflecting the total population of Sikkim, mentioned ‘Rai’ , ‘Khambu’ and ‘Jimdar’ as different communities, but in reality, these terms denote a single community, which is now, popularly known as Rai community. Rai is also known as Kirata, Khambu, and Jimdar. The term Kirata has a wider connotation and is also found in Puran, Upadnishad, or the old Vedas. It covers Rai, Limbu, Sunwar, Gurung, Manger, Tamang, and others, but only the Rai community uses this term.  As per the census of Sikkim in 1884, the total strength of the Rai community was in third position, but Mr. Risley put it at random owing to the reason mentioned already. The majority of Rai people still reside in many parts of the state. They are mainly concentrated in the South and West Districts of the State. Festival: In this former Himalayan kingdom,...
