Saramsa Garden : Picnic Destinations in Sikkim

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.

AN ENVELOPE   A PIECE OF PAPER   LIST OF ADDRESSES INSIDE THE ENVELOPE I was part of a successful newspaper at Gangtok; the weekly newspaper “Weekend Review” was then considered the third party in Sikkim after the Sikkim Democratic Front led by Pawan Chamling and Congress led by N B. Bhandari, former Chief Minister of Sikkim. I had just completed my graduation when I got a chance to join the big-wig WR team. It took me a week to decide, and I was a news reporter. Even then, my primary concern was looking for Sikkim's old history. The new job was interesting, challenging, and more of an adventure. I never knew what I would do the next day or where I would be.  I was only told to file a report to the newspaper office at Gangtok every Thursday. I was associated with the WR team for more than two years till our editor was replaced, and I found it uncomfortable to work with the new editor. His lack of journalism ethics made me leave WR. Within the fol...

JANHA BAGCHA TEESTA RANGIT

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 ...
